It's often a pain to handle properly. For example, It's seemingly not possible to (easily, at least, and portably) handle split-usr (separate /usr, as in separate partition) in app-arch/zstd with pkg-config, as pkg-config shouldn't point to the loader script, but the real library [0]. As you can imagine, these complications together with other, more pressing bugs, means it is at least not very high on my list to look into such issues, even though I do try when such bugs are within my purview.
