What needs fixing? I did not have time to guess what the completely
undocumented patch in #254290 does, so I did a little experiment:
a.pc:
prefix=/usr
Name: a
Description: a
Version: 1.0
Requires: b
Requires.private: c
Libs: -la
b.pc:
prefix=/usr
Name: b
Description: b
Version: 1.0
Libs: -lb
Libs.private: -lbstatic
c.pc:
prefix=/usr
Name: c
Description: c
Version: 1.0
Libs: -lc
Libs.private: -lcstatic
$ pkg-config --libs a
-la -lb
$ pkg-config --libs --static a
-la -lc -lcstatic -lb -lbstatic
It seems to work perfectly. Of course the problem might be that .pc
files installed on my desktop currently do not seem to use either
Requires.private or Libs.private yet.
