Yes, I understand why it may be an issue; I was just theorising about why it might be the way it is... I guess, realistically, it is hugely more likely that fltk-config will be called upon when processing C++ code than C code though, at least for anything that is rendering text, so maybe the fact that its C output is broken only affects a very small set of users, hence it has never been noted before? In any case, I'd suggest that posting an STR recording your findings is a good idea, in the hope that we get around to fixing this!
