Yes true but I wasn't sure how the bug was linked to specific version,
now I think I know, but keep reading...

Thank you Eike.
With your help now I think I know what the problem is.
It seems to be a SUSE 64bits specific issue, I did open a bug for that:
http://public.kitware.com/Bug/view.php?id=11964

on [Open] SUSE there seem to be a nasty
/usr/lib/rpm/brp-lib64-linux

script which checks that 64bits libraries ends-up in

*/lib64/
and not in
*/lib

for any ld path found in ld.so.conf...
The failing test is intalling libs in "lib" and don't care about 64/32bits.

I don't think it's really a a CPackRPM bug...because even if not using CPackRPM
but just "make install" any project installing in "lib" would break
this SUSE policy.

Last but not least I cannot reproduce this on my computer because
currently I cannot start a VM with a 64 bit guest OS, because my computer
is too old and has no "hardware virtualisation support" which makes
virtualbox OSE
or qemu not able to virtualize that arch :-[

I'll try to [blindly] fix this with a SUSE specific test *in the test
itself* and not in CPack RPM.
