Bug#857943: libgnutls28-dev: pkg-config gnutls --libs --static: bogus -R... flag

Package: libgnutls28-dev
Version: 3.5.8-3
Severity: normal

The output of `pkg-config gnutls --libs --static` includes a flag of
the form -R/usr/lib/$DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH, which is not only superfluous
but also outright broken without a leading -Wl,:

  $ gcc `pkg-config gnutls --libs --static`
  gcc: error: unrecognized command line option ‘-R’; did you mean ‘-R’?
  $ pkg-config gnutls --libs --static
  -lgnutls -lz -R/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu     -lp11-kit   -lgmp -lnettle -lhogweed -lgmp -lnettle -ltasn1 -lidn -lp11-kit -lz

Could you please clean it up?

Thanks!
