Additional info: I am not sure libpng should require pkg-config with architecture. Conflict in /usr/bin is understandable. One pkg-config should be enough on mixed architectures. If you think this is problem of pkgconf-pkg-config, please move the bug.
It seems this used to be part of packaging guidelines: > Explicit Requires for architecture specific packages should specify %{?_isa} as part of the Requires. But I don't think it makes sense, at least not in case of pkgconfig.
I think that makes sense for any libraries, where platform must match. But for binary utility, it should not matter, as long as alternative architecture is able to supply useful information. I think that is the case of pkg-config.
