Not sure why you're asking me. I don't have anything to do with the
RPMs.

To elucidate, IcedTea doesn't handle installation at present. There's a
long-standing
bug to add this:
http://icedtea.classpath.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=94
Adding it and the pkg-config feature need to be discussed on the appropriate mailing
list: distro-pkg-dev(a)openjdk.java.net
You're welcome to trial a more immediate change in the RPM itself, and use the
feedback
from that to add the feature to IcedTea.
