Yep, makes sense. If you are building from pure 64bit or pure
32bit system, then pkg-config already knows where to look
(in most cases and if you aren't like me and have stuff in
/opt and various non-standard places).
On a multilib/multiarch system, there are different pkg-config
directories for each arch's .pc files:

/usr/lib64/pkgconfig and /usr/lib/pkgconfig.

Manipulating pkg-config can save a lot of grief when library and
header paths can be different based on compile time arch.
I often have to mess with pkg-config when I'm cross compiling,
so I thought I'd chime in. I'm probably just muddying the
waters, and if so, my apologies in advance.
