        <pre>I build LLVM and libc++ with the following CMake flags to set a custom rpath on
binaries and libraries:

 -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
 -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$target
 -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=clang
 -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=clang++
 -DLIBCXX_ENABLE_EXPERIMENTAL_LIBRARY=On
 -DCMAKE_INSTALL_RPATH="$rpath"

On `make install` this leads to the following error:

--- snip (actual paths replaced by $rpath and $target) ---

CMake Error at projects/libcxx/src/cmake_install.cmake:83 (file):
  file RPATH_CHANGE could not write new RPATH:

    $rpath

  to the file:

    $target/lib/libc++.so

  No valid ELF RPATH or RUNPATH entry exists in the file; File does not have
  a valid ELF identification.
Call Stack (most recent call first):
  projects/libcxx/cmake_install.cmake:51 (include)
  projects/cmake_install.cmake:43 (include)
  cmake_install.cmake:67 (include)

--- /snip ---

The reason is that $target/lib/libc++.so is a simple text file and not a valid
elf file.

A workaround is to build with

 -DLIBCXX_ENABLE_ABI_LINKER_SCRIPT=0

and manually replace $target/lib/libc++.so with a linker script after `make
install`.

I am not very familiar with CMake. I guess that we would need to tell CMake in
libcxx/cmake/Modules/DefineLinkerScript.cmake to skip ${symlink} in the rpath
modification step. However, ${target}, i.e., the actual shared object, still
needs to be processed.

I encountered this issue with CMake 3.15.</pre>
