Make pkg-config files relocatable post-installation

Thanks for completing this!

Use pkg-config to detect flags for statically linking dependencies (notably BLAS, GC, NTL)

I'm afraid I'm not sure what you mean. What is the problem, and how does this solve the issue?

Use pkg-config to detect flags for statically linking dependencies (notably BLAS, GC, NTL)

I see, thanks for the explanation. We could fix this, but I don't believe pkg-config should be a requirement for installing FLINT. I believe these cases are very limited (correct...

Thanks, I will look into it!
