pkg-config --libs scratches the order

[bora.sahin at ttnet.net.tr]

I am trying to cross-compile glib/gtk stuff. I passed glib part and then 
started to compile pango. In fact, everything went smootly. But I noticed 
one thing. After enabling X, configure script tries 
	pkg-config --libs xft
and pkg-config scratches the order in the xft.pc file. This was not a 
problem when cross-compiling except a warning but maybe it can cause some 
problems hereafter. So I just wonder why it does this. The content of my 
xft.pc file is below:
------------------------------
prefix=/opt/db1200/gcc-3.4.4-glibc-2.3.5/mipsel-unknown-linux-gnu/mipsel-unknown-linux-gnu
exec_prefix=${prefix}
libdir=${prefix}/lib/X11
includedir=${prefix}/include/X11

freetypelibs=-L/opt/db1200/gcc-3.4.4-glibc-2.3.5/mipsel-unknown-linux-gnu/mipsel-unknown-linux-gnu/lib  
-lfreetype
freetypecflags=-I/opt/db1200/gcc-3.4.4-glibc-2.3.5/mipsel-unknown-linux-gnu/mipsel-unknown-linux-gnu/include 
-I/opt/db1200/gcc-3.4.4-glibc-2.3.5/mipsel-unknown-linux-gnu/mipsel-unknown-linux-gnu/include/freetype2 
-I/opt/db1200/gcc-3.4.4-glibc-2.3.5/mipsel-unknown-linux-gnu/mipsel-unknown-linux-gnu/include/freetype2/config

Name: Xft
Description: X FreeType library
Version: 2.1.2.2
Requires: fontconfig
Libs: -L${libdir} -lXft -lX11 -lXrender ${freetypelibs}
Cflags: -I${includedir} ${freetypecflags} 
------------------------------
pkg-config --clags is OK but pkg-config --libs returns:
-L/opt/db1200/gcc-3.4.4-glibc-2.3.5/mipsel-unknown-linux-gnu/mipsel-unknown-linux-gnu/lib/X11 
-L/opt/db1200/gcc-3.4.4-glibc-2.3.5/mipsel-unknown-linux-gnu/mipsel-unknown-linux-gnu/lib 
-lXft -lX11 -lXrender -lfreetype -lfontconfig -lexpat
which normally I expect 
-L/opt/db1200/gcc-3.4.4-glibc-2.3.5/mipsel-unknown-linux-gnu/mipsel-unknown-linux-gnu/lib/X11 
-lXft -lX11 -lXrender -lfontconfig -lexpat 
-L/opt/db1200/gcc-3.4.4-glibc-2.3.5/mipsel-unknown-linux-gnu/mipsel-unknown-linux-gnu/lib 
-lfreetype
It combines lib and lib/X11 elements somehow... When I put ${freetypelibs} 
to the start of the line everything changes. This time all of them is 
prefixed with the other. What is the reason of it or am I miss something?

I use Debian/Sarge and pkg-config --version shows 0.17.2...

Ps: I am not on the list, please cc to me...

Thanks...
