clang-lld_tinderbox has reproduced this issue with version 32-r1 - Updating summary.

kmod.pc contains this:

prefix=/usr
sysconfdir=/etc
distconfdir=${prefix}/lib
module_directory=/lib/modules
module_compressions=gzip xz zstd
module_signatures=legacy

Name: kmod
Description: Tools to deal with kernel modules
Version: 32

The distconfdir setting is correct; it should be "lib" and not "lib64".

I think the easy solution here is to move kmod.pc from /usr/lib64/pkgconfig to /usr/share/pkgconfig.

Fix has been merged upstream. I don't think it is worth backporting.
