[CMake] CheckLibraryExists behaviour with different compilers

[victor sv]

Hello again,

Sometimes we don't have control on external libraries compilation and we
don't know which compiler was used to generate external libraries

now my questions is, Is there a CMake-standard-way to proceed in these
cases?

What is the best way to specify dependencies depending on the compiler?

Thanks in advance.

Víctor.
