Documenting this quirk seems reasonable to me if you want to suggest a patch (and we don’t agree to fix it).

See Issue 21042 for returning full paths on Linux. We tried to make this change, but it wasn’t easy to do it consistently for arbitrary ABIs, so I backed it out.

See Issue 9998 discussing changing find_library() to emulate a run-time linker, rather than a compile-time linker.
