Hmm, are you suggesting patching every .pc file in Fedora to have this
option?

One solution might be to use variables ... I think pkg-config allows stuff

Libs: $(foo) -lbar -lbaz

Where foo could be defined internally as either "" in the portable
upstream version or "--as-needed" in the downstream version.
