Most .pc files are architecture dependent -- they include flags
like -L/usr/lib64, and so forth.

But there are some cases where you have packages that are architecture

the 'gtk-doc' perl scripts.

has details.

(Hmm, we should create a pkg-config component on
bugzilla.freedesktop.org, now that that exists)
