However I had a deeper look into the GnuCash CMake files regarding integration of GoogleTest into the GnuCash build system and it looked a little bit strange to me. From my CMake experience I would choose a different way. And I would say, that not only this bug should be fixed, but the whole GoogleTest integration should be updated.

Sure. The only constraint is that in spite of the Googletest recommendation to build directly from source for each application some of the Linux distro packagers insist that the packaged shared library from their distro must be used.
