Hey Takumi ,

Seen as this is related to 3.9. What are your thoughts on how to update the
variables to solve this
Will we just add the policy to cmake or change RPATH on macos behave
differently?

```
CMake Warning (dev):
  Policy CMP0068 is not set: RPATH settings on macOS do not affect
  install_name.  Run "cmake --help-policy CMP0068" for policy details.  Use
  the cmake_policy command to set the policy and suppress this warning.
  For compatibility with older versions of CMake, the install_name fields
for
  the following targets are still affected by RPATH settings:
   LTO
   libclang
This warning is for project developers.  Use -Wno-dev to suppress it.
```

This is from an MacOS host building clang with cmake 3.9 and ninja
