Oh interesting! Actually if we want to go down that road I suggest we just remove that from extension-helpers and have packages add pkgconfig to their pyproject.toml and use it...

I won't have time to investigate this in the near future, but if one of you has time to take a look, feel free to open a PR to astropy...

@CyclingNinja - could you try rebasing on upstream/main to get rid of the merge commit?

I can git bisect it later and see what caused it
