Description
On Arch /lib64 and /usr/lib64 are symlinks to /usr/lib, so a Boost installed into /usr but found via /lib64 will fail to set the correct paths for e.g. the include dir as reported in https://gitlab.kitware.com/cmake/cmake/issues/19841 (It will try to use `/include` instead of `/usr/include` where the former does not exist)
A solution would look similar to https://gitlab.kitware.com/cmake/cmake/blob/v3.15.4/Source/cmExportInstallFileGenerator.cxx#L201-219 as mentioned by Brad King at https://gitlab.kitware.com/cmake/cmake/issues/19841#note_640123
