That will clash with the legacy providers, don't recommend it.

Ah realpath needs the paths to exist.. Sigh

Another alternative is this:

python -c "import os; print(os.path.relpath('/usr/lib64/libmlx4.so','/usr/lib64/libibverbs'));"

The doesn't need a build time, just do:

    execute_process(COMMAND "${CMAKE_COMMAND}" -E create_symlink
                 "lib${DEST}.so.${VERSION}"
		 "${BUILD_LIB}/lib${DEST}-rdmav2.so")

It creates a dangling link until compilation, which is fine..

This line isn't needed, it is part of the next function

>   rdma_install_symlink("${CMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR}/lib${DEST}.so.${VERSION}" "${VERBS_PROVIDER_DIR}/libmlx5-rdmav2.so")

Should be

   rdma_install_symlink("${CMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR}/lib${DEST}.so.${VERSION}" "${VERBS_PROVIDER_DIR}/lib${DEST}-rdmav2.so")

And most distros will not allow an absolute link under /usr which is
why you need to make a relpath work and use that instead of
${CMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR}
