It does:
$ env PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/lib64/pkgconfig pkg-config --libs dbus-1
-ldbus-1
The problem is that your pkg-config is apparently configured to understand
something else (probably /usr/lib) as the system default path. So when you ask
for it to search .pc files in /usr/lib64/pkgconfig (which installed libraries
in
/usr/lib64), then it thinks those paths are not system-default and prints
them.
Your pkg-config is buggy. Your distribution must fix them.
This also shows that pkg-config is flawed for multiarch builds.

There's some extra processing that it does. For paths added to INCLUDEPATH
that begin with one of the paths in QMAKE_DEFAULT_INCDIRS, qmake will use the
-isystem option instead of -I to pass to the compiler. It uses
QMAKE_DEFAULT_LIBDIRS to *search* for libraries you passed in LIBS += without
the corresponding -L flag, like for example:
LIBS += -lm -lrt
It will not strip any paths added to LIBS.
Your pkg-config is still broken.
