Make up your mind. Either:

a) a compiler is part of the build environment

Since pkg-config is supposed to work on only on one build environment
there can't be compatibility problems.

b) a compiler is not part of the build environment (more than one
compiler can use the same build environment)

In this case pkg-config would work only if the different compilers can
use the same -lfoo flags.

IMO b) is the case.
