I didn't pursue upstreaming it because it looks like merge request at github
are ignored and I didn't feel like signing up at upstreams own page.

  git send-email --to '~kaniini/pkgc...@lists.sr.ht' your.patch

doesnt work?

No clue, just sent the attached version there.

@Rosen
You might wanna use this patch instead. An alternative would be to catch --version in the wrapper and don't add additional arguments in that case.

Subject: [PATCH] Revert "main: assume --modversion insted of --version if
 other flags or module names are provided"

This reverts commit 12a0eb124cea85586e57f33c91a1e4c73459eef6.

This "user friendly" behavior is actually detrimental. pkg-config is very
often wrapped in a shell script of cross-compiling toolchains. Such wrappers
may pass extra arguments, such as --static, (reasonably) not expecting that
to break --version. Some build systems (meson being one example) use
--version to determine whether pkg-config is usable. Naturally, the wrappers
fail this test, even though they would've worked with the original pkg-config.

Fixes #6
