I think I traced this down to:
pkg-config --libs-only-other --libs-only-l gthread-2.0
-lgthread-2.0 -lglib-2.0  

pkg-config --libs-only-other gthread-2.0
-Wl,-R/usr/pkg/lib -pthread  

pkg-config --libs-only-l gthread-2.0
-lgthread-2.0 -lglib-2.0  

Is the behaviour of the first case desired? Shouldn't it be additive?
