appears to assume that SHLIB_LINK contains nothing except -L and -l
switches. I don't think I trust that a whole lot --- in fact, it
looks guaranteed to fail on HPUX because of -print-libgcc-file-name.
There might be other platform-specific bogosity on other platforms;
PTHREAD_LIBS seems like a likely source for instance.
Another point is that -L switches used at build time might not have much
to do with the environment a .pc file would be used in later. I see
that you're dropping relative -L paths, which is good as far as it
goes, but I wonder whether it goes far enough.
Perhaps the first step should be to filter in -l%, rather than
filter out -L% ?
