This seems to be one of the weird x86_64 distros (SuSE?) that only have
/usr/lib64/ but no /usr/lib. The problem is that the install target of
gkrellms Makefile blindly copies gkrellm.pc into
DESTDIR/PREFIX/lib/pkgconfig/.

Instead of relying on the probably outdated spec file that ships with
gkrellm (it's probably meant as a base for packager to improve upon) I'd
rather grab the SRPM for the distro and update it to build/package
gkrellm-2.3.5 instead of some older version.

Bye,
