It is not cmake that is too smart, but the linker when passed
--as-needed (which many distributions does)

$ cat foo.cpp 
int main(int, char**) { };

$ g++ -lQt5Core foo.cpp
$ objdump -x a.out | grep Qt5Core
  NEEDED               libQt5Core.so.5

$ g++ -Wl,--as-needed -lQt5Core foo.cpp
$ objdump -x a.out | grep Qt5Core


But bottom line, just adding some extra linkage doesn't get kept for
many compiled versions.
