+Subject: [PATCH] Make install.libs depend on installed shared libraries
+
+The generated library Makefiles list the build-tree library outputs in
+LIBRARIES, but there is no matching aggregate for the installed shared
+libraries.  Instead, install and install.libs get their installed-file
+prerequisites only from the per-library rules emitted later.
+
+That can miss a library in split installs.  For example, after installing a
+narrow build first, $(LIBDIR)/libtinfo.so.$(REL_VERSION) already exists.  A
+subsequent wide install.libs with --with-termlib=tinfo --with-ticlib can
+install libticw, libpanelw, libmenuw and libformw, while not relinking
+$(LIBDIR)/libncursesw.so.$(REL_VERSION).
+
+Track the installed shared-library targets separately and make install and
+install.libs depend on that aggregate.  This keeps the generated install target
+consistent with LIBRARIES and forces all installed shared libraries in the
+directory to be considered.

+Subject: [PATCH] misc: Always regenerate pkg-config files before install
+
+The pc-files target is a stamp file rather than one of the generated
+pkg-config files.  If the stamp remains in the build directory while the
+generated .pc files are missing, install.libs can skip gen-pkgconfig and then
+silently install no pkg-config files because the install loop ignores missing
+files.
+
+Regenerate the pkg-config files directly from install and install.libs instead
+of relying on the stamp target.  The pc-files stamp remains useful for all and
+sources, but installation now guarantees that the files it is about to copy
+exist in the build tree.
