Summary:                    redland.pc includes users ldflags
Description: 
pkg-config files are generally not for normal LDFLAGS.

LDFLAGS variable in autotools is commonly used by users to add optimization
flags and other stuff which are not necessary to successfully build.

However, the "Libs.private" variable in redland.pc will add those user ldflags
as needed libs which is not true. Those entries should only contain libs, needed
-L flags and any other linker flags that are ALWAYS needed to successfully
build.
Therefore, the environment LDFLAGS variable should not be added there at all.



LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1 -Wl,--as-needed"

actual result:
Libs.private: -Wl,-O1 -Wl,--as-needed -Wl,--hash-style=gnu -ldl -Wl,-O1
-Wl,--as-needed -Wl,--hash-style=gnu -ldb-4.8

expected result:
Libs.private: -ldl -ldb-4.8
