I think it does. If you pass extra libraries to link against, then the
.so files are linked against them. In a dynamic linking environment,
that's sufficient. But in a static linking environment, that requires
your .pc file having a Libs.private pointing to those extra libraries.

So I think there's an argument in favor of this, but only if those
extra libraries are added to Libs.private in the .pc file, not Libs.

Best regards,

Thomas
