I wish I had...  Oh well, at least we now know what the problem is and
how to work around it.  People with better knowledge of pkg-config
might have some idea.  /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pkgconfig/libgit2.pc
looks like this on my box:

,----
| libdir=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu
| includedir=/usr/include
|
| Name: libgit2
| Description: The git library, take 2
| Version: 0.21.2
| Requires.private:  openssl zlib libssh2
| Libs.private:  -lhttp_parser -lrt
| Libs: -L${libdir} -lgit2
| Cflags: -I${includedir}
`----

What does that file show on other distributions?
