cmake complains about the fact that 'general' is a reserved keyword, and I
have found no way to force or finagle linkage against a library named
'libgeneral'.

Name the target something else (e.g. 'libgeneral') and modify its OUTPUT_NAME? (See set_target_properties and the OUTPUT_NAME property.)

If all you need is to produce a 'libgeneral.so', that may suffice. If you also need the target name to be 'general'...
