I don't understand exactly what you mean by "configuration LOCATION

LOCATION_<CONFIG> and in any case is not relevant to my use case of
generating pkg-config *.pc files with our build system, but I am
nevertheless curious about what you meant.)

E.g. on windows with MSVC cmake target exports may refer to locations of both a Debug and a Release binary.

LOCATION returns the path to one of those two (you don't know which).

LOCATION_DEBUG and LOCATION_RELEASE would refer to the Debug and Release binary respectively.
