Try to come up with a simple way to reproduce (other than trying a software which isn't in Portage)
Otherwise I'm inclined to believe this is a problem in the package, not pkg-config

As far as I can tell, libgps.pc is installed by sci-geosciences/gpsd.

app-portage/pfl's e-file lists /lib64/pkgconfig/libgps.pc as one place where the .pc file might have ended up erroneously (in past times, I expect). Maybe this information helps you.
