Details

Description:
The upstream flint repo and releases provide a pkg-config file (since march 2023 in the repo, and at least since the 3.0.0 release, see the additional info).
However the archlinux package does not include/install any pkg-config file, even though the archlinux package was updated after the inclusion of the pkg-config files upstream.

Additional info:
* package version: 3.0.0-3
* pull request that added the pkg-config file upstream: https://github.com/flintlib/flint/pull/1299
* I manually checked the upstream release tarball from github for version 3.0.0 of flint, and it includes the `flint.pc.in` file

Steps to reproduce:
Simply install `flint` and `pacman -Ql flint`, there is no `flint.pc` file in the list.
Additionally (and more importantly) `pkg-config --libs flint` fails to find the `flint` library.
This task depends upon

The pull request you linked does not including adding pkg-config support to the cmake build which Arch uses.

Oh, I didn't know that Arch was using the cmake build and not the autoconf/make one, I guess I should have looked harder, my apologies, I'll take this upstream then.
