Not sure why this seems targeted to me.

Yes I've tried to fix whatever issues this change caused in my world builds
and I'm partially responsible for pkgconfig patch flood, because I wanted
layers like meta-ros/*, meta-qt5, meta-qt6, meta-webosose/* to stay
compatible with oe-core whenever this change from RP is merged to master.

I've also tried to compare buildhistory and image content (for
ros-image-world with ros1-melodic) to see if I can spot more cases of
non-fatal build output changes as in collada-dom and unfortunately there is
a lot of noise in buildhistory (due to many recipes included in this image
not really build-reproducible), so I've used
mostly installed-package-sizes.txt file to spot 2 more recipes where the
size was different (but both don't seem to be caused by pkgconfig-native in
the end).

I did both builds from scratch without sstate, so I would assume that it
will catch all possible cases, but surprisingly just yesterday I've caught
another missing pkgconfig-native in one of meta-ros1-melodic recipes
(caught in kirkstone based build - while before I was testing on top of a
bit older honister with this change cherry-picked just for test - to
prepare recipes to be future-proof for kirkstone).
