[CMake] find_library setting search path order

[vivek goel]

aha.
Thanks
The command
find_library(PCRE_LIBRARY pcre
PATHS ${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/lib/linux/gcc/${BIT}/lib
)
is working perfectly issue was that it was reading the variable value from
the cache after deleting cache it is finding library
at {CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/lib/linux/gcc/${BIT}/lib


regards
Vivek Goel
