Well you know, from my point of view as sage-on-gentoo's lead, it is non-issue.
It is only an issue for sage as an independent software suite put in a separate prefix on the system. But yes there are a couple of issues: 1) the easiest way to solve William's problem is to only install our own pkg-config when no suitable one is available on the system. We do that for a couple of other things. So it could be done (gcc anyone), it is just not the default position for most packages. 2) we need to make sure it is present and PKG_CONFIG_PATH include sage's pkgconfig folder very early. You will have to set the environment one way or another unless you rely solely on system packages. A nice solution which is of course the way I do things 99% of the time in sage-on-gentoo. If you put it in a prefix, you will need a few things to make sure your prefix is working as intended. One of them is some environment variables.
