+Subject: [PATCH 1/1] Fix pkg-config for static linking
+MIME-Version: 1.0
+Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
+Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
+
+Static linking userspace programs such as MPD against libaudiofile fails if
+FLAC is available, because libaudiofile is linked against FLAC, but this isn't
+expressed in the pkg-config file:
+
+[..]
+arm-buildroot-linux-uclibcgnueabi/sysroot/usr/lib/libaudiofile.a(FLAC.o): In function `FLACDecoder::reset2()':
+FLAC.cpp:(.text+0x58): undefined reference to `FLAC__stream_decoder_seek_absolute'
+/home/buildroot/build/instance-1/output/host/usr/arm-buildroot-linux-uclibcgnueabi/sysroot/usr/lib/libaudiofile.a(FLAC.o): In function `FLACEncoder::sync2()':

+[..]
+
+The Libs.private field is specifically designed for such usage:
+
+From pkg-config documentation:
+
+  Libs.private:
+
+     This line should list any private libraries in use.  Private
+     libraries are libraries which are not exposed through your
+     library, but are needed in the case of static linking.
+
+Therefore, this patch adds a reference to FLAC as well as to lcov in the
+Libs.private field of the pkg-config file.
