Public bug reported:
On Kubuntu Bionic Beaver this is what happens if I try to find any
library to link it at the end of the compiling process.
x86_64-w64-mingw32-ld -lz --verbose

x86_64-w64-mingw32-ld: cannot find -lz
If I check the /usr/x86_64-w64-mingw32/lib/ path in dolphin or konqueror
I do find the libz.a and libz.dll.a files right there. I know they are
not supposed to be included with the mingw packages, but the same
happens to any library that is included by default.
Thereafter I came up with the idea that creating pc files myself would
probably fix this situation so I did. Even if pkg-config and cmake say
they have found the packages (including binaries, included header files,
and libraries), the linker just denies they can be found anywhere. Even
if it was a crazy idea, I used the default ld to try compile my custom
project and it did find all of the specified libraries without any
issues. Of course the result was not good at all for ld thought it was
linking common Linux libraries XD
