        Hi,
I'm sorry for a late response, I did tend to forget of this due to other
issues which I tried to address.

Anyway, I checked my .pc files in $PREFIX/lib/pkgconfig and all of them,
if they define "Libs", use -L as the first parameter, thus this should
work for sure.

Could you check the .pc files content too, please?

My output of the same command looks like that yours, only the -L is
really as the first argument.

This is odd, though it corresponds to the output fo the 'pkg-config
--libs' command, at least on your machine.
        Bye,
