It is this kind of stuff which I mean by a "distro-specific pollution"...

No, if you ask me. :)

Imho this is a part of the "ubuntu-compatibility" or
"multiarch-compatibility" and should be kept well separated from "pcc".

The knowledge of where the resources are placed is only reliably available
to the distro-specific packager, not generally. Trying to keep knowledge
about all possible or "all relevant" distros and their mindsets as a part
of pcc will both take your time and be guaranteed to regularly fall
out-of sync.

On the other side if "multiarch" setup has an underlying standard (?)
you may wish to follow it - if there is indeed a standard of how to
implement "multiarch".

(I guess I achieve in my setup among others what multiarch does, but
in an extremely different way, so let's avoid confusing a goal with a
certain implementation of it).
