Is there a flag (similar to CMAKE\_FIND\_DEBUG\_MODE) to enable logging of RUNTIME\_DEPENDENCY\_SET?  
Especially the resolution of dependencies?

I got a case, where I think it goes wrong:

State:  
executable \<-lib1.so ← lib2.so.  
lib2.so is also in /lib/… but wrong version.  
lddtree on built executable resolves to correct versions.(RPATH is set correctly in executable)

Now installing it with RUNTIME\_DEPENDENCY\_SET.  
POST\_EXCLUDE\_REGEXES filters out /lib/…

- Installed dir only contains executable and lib1.so.
- lddtree on installed executable: lib2.so form /lib/.. ☹ → missing symbols
