Some packages, mostly ones built using cmake and providing
infrastructure files for cmake (basically like pkg-config files, just
only for cmake), list too many files in these infrastructure files.

In these cases you need to make sure those files end up in the
temporary buildink directory, like e.g. qt5base does.

I.e. adding

BUILDLINK_FILES.soplex+=       bin/soplex

to soplex' buildlink3.mk file should fix this.
