I use static linking every day for the embedded target.

I use it heavily e.g. to build debug tools for embedded systems where
the rootfs doesn't match my cross-toolchain.

Yes, in my company we link almost all our own libraries
statically to our own applications. (however, we use some

I should note that although this is my tactic, it's not actually a very
important point.

I want to use pkg-config for exactly the same reasons as you explain.

Sure; it's very useful for specialized libraries that won't be widely
used enough to merit the effort to build and install as dynamic
libraries.

I'd love to answer no, but at least parts of the HPC crowd will do
almost anything to get a couple percent more performance

No. I suppose that file is only present if pkg-config is installed?
I'm trying to build on Mac OS X in case that would matter.
