I mean this is a gnuradio OOT, you can only use it with gnuradio. And gnuradio now has its own way of finding oot that doesn't use the .pc files, so there is no point in including one. Whatever legacy gnuradio app still uses the .pc file should move to the new way of gnuradio to do stuff.

When gr-osmosdr was updated to GNU Radio 3.8, generation of gnuradio-osmosdr.pc was removed. Other software uses pkg-config to find gr-osmosdr, so I think we should add it back.
Other software should be fixed, not re-adding legacy to the code base.
Since when are .pc files "legacy". They have been the normal way for build systems to find out about other packages for a long time, and I think they are still normal.
Perhaps this is due to a view that $SHINY_NEW_BUILD_SYSTEM is the one true way and that any other software that does not immediately change to that build system is old - but if so I think that's unresonable.
If you mean something else, please explain.
