To my surprise, this turned out to be a version problem after all. I 
installed version 0.12.0 on the RH 7.2 system, and it has the same behavior 
as it does on the 7.3 system. (I suppose that this shouldn't have surprised 
me ;-)

Looking at the versions of pkg-config, it seems that they were working on a 
bug that had to do with link flag order that started w/ version 0.10.0; I 
guess it also related to compile flag order...

I suggest that we change the build scripts to require version 0.12.0 of 
pkgconfig.
