True.

I believe it is. How are people using E.G. libczmq to know that they
need to link with g++ just because a library libczmq uses happens to use
C++?

Ahh, now I get it. Yes, fixing libzmq.pc to have a Libs.privat: -lstdc++
should also work.
I'll give it a try.
czmq seems to be missing a dependency on host-pkgconf though.
