 When creating addlibs files from .pc files, the Makefile's augment
 PKG_CONFIG_SEARCH_PATH by {{{$prefix/lib/pkgconfig}}}, assuming that .pc
 files are installed there. This does not work if a user changes the
 library installation directory via configure's {{{--libdir}}} option.

 An easy workaround for a user is to set a link {{{$prefix/lib}}} ->
 {{{$libdir}}}.

 There may be other places where {{{$prefix/lib == $libdir}}} is assumed.
