In what way? If you mean that the prefix points to a nonexistent
directory, that is on purpose. You probably don't know that
pkg-config, when built for Windows, automatically uses as prefix the
one appropriate to where the package containing the .pc file is
installed. This means you can unzip such a package anywhere, and just
by adding the lib/pkgconfig folder to your PKG_CONFIG_PATH pkg-config
will find it and print the correct paths in its output.

What would be the alternative? Forcing the developer packages to be
installed in some fixed prefix, like C:\gnuwin32 or whatever? That is
not acceptable. Having to install the packages using an installer that
at install-time edits the installation prefix in the .pc file? That
might work, but I have personally no interest in using installers for
the GTK+ and GNOME packages I maintain.
