pkg-config does not substitute $(parenthesis), only ${curly_brackets}: $ PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR=/usr/i686-pc-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/lib/pkgconfig \ pkg-config --libs zlib -L/usr/i686-pc-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/lib -L\$\(exec_prefix\)/bin -lz gcc (or libtool?) doesn't like this, as I found out when I updated my mingw-glib2.0.
