Nope, making 2 build trees is overkill :)
I suppose You need 2 components instead (I didn't tested this solution, but I suppose it should work):

install(TARGETS mylib DESTINATION lib COMPONENT runtime NAMELINK_SKIP)
install(TARGETS mylib DESTINATION lib COMPONENT devel NAMELINK_ONLY)

But another question is how to use install components :) (But with CPack this should be rather easy).
