Builds just fine, and correctly puts pkgconfig files in /usr/lib/pkgconfig. I don't know what you've got on your system that would mess with this.

/usr/share/pkgconfig is for architecture-independent packages like icon themes and such. Something is really broken on your system if pkgconfig installs its architecture-specific .pc files in /usr/share.
