Problem is that the wrapper script forces libpath to work/.buildlink/lib/pkgconfig, which is populated only with a _subset_ of /usr/pkg/lib/pkgconfig, not from $PKG_CONFIG_PATH.
 
 That's not a problem, that's the point of pkg-config being a tool,
 so pkgsrc has a chance to make sure the package only finds what
 the packager intended it to find.
 
 What is the actual problem you want to fix?
