Wouldn't it be better to link the directories instead of all the files in 
the directories?  What if a new package adds files to 
/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig, then the link would not exist.  Try as root:

#ln -s /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig /usr/lib/pkgconfig

That way it will link the whole directory and any future files place in 
that directory.  Creating this symbolic link also assumes that 
/usr/lib/pkgconfig does not exist as a directory, link, or regular file.
