No, that makes no sense.
Nevertheless, even after reviewing "man pkg-config", I think it's true.
Take a look at the output of "strings /usr/bin/pkg-config | grep /":
/usr/lib/pkgconfig
/usr/include
-L/usr/lib
-L /usr/lib
Package %s has -L/usr/lib in Libs
Removing -L/usr/lib from libs for %s
And look at some of the files in /usr/lib/pkgconfig:
::::::::::::::
audiofile.pc
::::::::::::::
prefix=/usr
exec_prefix=/usr
libdir=/usr/lib
includedir=/usr/include
The only way pkg-config can work is if you have a separate
copy of pkg-config and its data files for each copy of the userland
libraries.
This makes perfect sense: for each value of $prefix, you'll
have a separate copy of $prefix/usr/bin/pkg-config and
$prefix/usr/lib/pkgconfig.
Unless you're familiar with cross-compiling, you probably won't understand
or care about any of the above. That may change, though, as multiarch
systems
become more common. See http://raw.no/debian/amd64-multiarch-2, which
proposes putting libraries and include files not in /usr/include but in
/usr/$(gcc -dumpmachine)/{lib,include}
where gcc is the gcc associated with that copy of userland.

Only one pkg-config is needed. Each library supplies its own .pc file.
