binconfig goes through hoops that are just not required with pkgconfig, and
the hoops are hacks which may not be reliable.  I can't remember the
details but I do remember that libgcrypt/gnupg was a worst offender here.

CCing Richard to see if he can remember why.

In the glorious future removing all binconfig scripts would be the ideal,
in my opinion.  Alternatively replacing them with glorified pkgconfig
wrappers.
