1842,Linking against libparrot not as documented,plobsing,,"How do you link against libparrot? Easy - use pkg-config like docs/embed.pod tells you.

This is a blocker for anyone who is trying to link against libparrot The Right Way.

For the full details of why this happened, check out a previous attempt to remedy this (as well as other issues): TT #735.

I suggest we abandon pkg-config as a solution, and move to what rakudo is doing: pull everything from parrot_config.",bug,closed,normal,2.10,embed/extend,2.10.0,high,fixed,,,,,
