There seems to be nothing wrong here... If possible, CMake prefers to link
using the full path instead of relying on the -l flag. This is mainly because
using -L and -l it is very difficult to ensure which library is linked if there
are more than one library by that name on the linker path. Also, the linker
will usually prefer dynamic libraries over static ones, unless forced with a
special flag, but then that flag acts on all libraries, not just one.
