gst comes with some file called gnu-smalltalk.pc, used by pkg-config:

prefix = /usr/local
exec_prefix = ${prefix}
libdir = ${exec_prefix}/lib
moduledir = ${pkglibdir}
includedir = ${prefix}/include

Name: gnu-smalltalk
Description: GNU Smalltalk
Version: 3.1
Libs: -L${libdir} -lgst -lrt -lm 
Cflags: -I${includedir}

The variable pkglibdir is not defined, which causes pkg-config --list-all to 
fail,
which caused all kinds of _other_ packages to not build on my gentoo box.

This is also true for the most recent git version that I have on my box:

That was almost as much fun to track down as finding out why oocalc
reported 10 to be the sum of 5.

fun times,
