I had a build failure today that turned out to be an incompatibility in pkgconf.
Turns out
pkg-config --libs-only-L --libs-only-l
is supposed to print both -L and -l things, not just one of them.

http://kegel.com/pkgconf-libs-only.patch passes all tests (including my new ones).
Caveats:
--cflags-only-I might want same treatment
-L flags should be output before -l flags, but at moment pkgconf seems to not do this right for transitive dependencies? I should file a separate bug for that.
