[oe] [PATCH] pkgconfig.bbclass: don't blindly install every .pc file

[Andreas Oberritter]

I think I need to draw some more attention to this patch, because the
current way of installing all .pc files from a source tree to sysroot
causes build breakage.

I'd really prefer this being merged now, so it will make it into the
planned december release. Potential problems caused by the patch can
still be fixed before release, which means adding an install rule where
packages don't install their .pc files themselves.

Any opinions?

Regards,
Andreas
