One way to address the "once for all" part would be to write a
test case.
I don't think this ia test case that can be made part of the testsuite,
unfortunately.
The problem is, you ONLY see the problem if all of the following are true:
1) you have multiple dependent constructs in a single project -- e.g. a
sharedlib and an executable that depends on it, or two sharedlibs where
one depends on the other, etc.
2) you are doing a DESTDIR install
3) you have PREVIOUSLY done a "real" install -- so that the sharedlib on
which the second construct depends already exists in the "final"
destination.
Then, relinking will pick up the pre-existing sharedlib in the "final"
location, rather than the one in the DESTDIR.
In order to make #3 true, you have to muck with things "outside" of the
testsuite tree...which kinda violates the whole premise of
self-contained testing.
But, if anyone would like to give it a try, they are welcome to adapt
any of the following standalone testcase if it is useful.
