It's probably not right to have .pc files as architecture-independent data: typically, .pc files are system-dependent. Having .pc files installed with install-exec can be done with something like pkgconfigexecdir = $(libdir)/pkg-config pkgconfigexec_DATA = foo.pc See 'info Automake "The Two Parts of Install"'.
