just tried to build/install readline-8.0-alpha and found the following

Thanks for the report. I think a better fix is to not to attempt to
install readline.pc if $(pkgconfigdir) is missing.
Why not? If you are doing an install into DESTDIR for the purpose of
bundling a pre-built binary for a distro, then $(pkgconfigdir) will be
missing, because the ONLY things living in DESTDIR are what the package
itself installs. When DESTDIR is empty, you're right that either
$(pkgconfigdir) is likely to already exist, or that the user is not
using pkg-config; but even that's a risky assumption (when bootstrapping
a system, readline might be installed prior to pkg-config, and we
shouldn't require the user to run 'make install' a second time just to
install the pieces that weren't installed the first time).
