[Bug 1478035] [NEW] "pkg-config --static --libs gnutls" includes an option that gcc doesn't recognize (-R)

Public bug reported:

The output of "pkg-config --static --libs gnutls" is the following:

-R/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu -lgnutls -lgcrypt -lgpg-error -ltasn1 -lz
-lp11-kit

However, gcc doesn't understand the "-R" option, so you can't pass the
pkg-config output as a set of gcc command line options the way that pkg-
config says you are supposed to be able to.

It seems likely to me that this -R option is an error and should be
removed.

(The pkg-config output for a non-static build is fine.)
