It could be done better, agreed. Ideally it should filter the path
and allow local directories within the building pkg, as done
for compiler/linker.
In practice it seems to be that PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR tells the
global path, which is redirected to bl3 dirs. PKG_CONFIG_PATH
is only rarely set by pkgs. In the cases I've seen, the
introspection tool wants to extract metadata from the not
yet installed headers, and uses the not yet installed .pc
file to locate them.
