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.
