Yes, pkg-config should never look into any other prefix than the one
it was installed to. Unless of course you tell it so by setting your
PKG_CONFIG_PATH. Please check the xdg-list archives. This has been
discussed there in full length (the thread starts with
https://listman.redhat.com/archives/xdg-list/2003-September/msg00106.html).
