However it seems that Gentoo has not distinguished enchant <2 from >=2 so even for enchant-2, the file is enchant.pc. For me "pkg-config --modversion enchant" returns 2.1.1. Configure and meson.build have been changed in master so that, when pkg-config fails to find enchant-2.pc, it tries "enchant != 1.6.1" instead of "enchant <= 1.6.0". It's a bit obscure (!) but should work both with distros that provide enchant-2.pc and those like Gentoo that name it enchant.pc.
