The FAQ you cite says

which seems awfully counterproductive, and was apparently
controversial when it was proposed in 2005 [1, 2]. This is why --libs
works and --cflags doesn't. Now that pkg-config's successor supports
Cflags.private, I wonder if there's room to fix these
mutually-conflicting use cases...
