To the best of my knowledge, that is the responsibility of pkg-config. |

Information about the supported libraries is stored in /usr/lib/pkgconfig. |

Generally, there is no need to do that in an ebuild. The software package's |
| 12 |
configure script will automatically run pkg-config in order to determine |
| 13 |
which flags must be passed to the linker. (Assuming that you are referring to |
| 14 |
an application which is written in a variant of C.) |
