Putting arbitary additional information about what a library needs as
you suggest is not standard but very toolchain specific as well.

On the other hand using a tool that maintains that information
externally [1] could take the used compiler into account and add some
compatibilty glue. Sure, pkg-config might not do that today, however it
seems to me that the approach of using an external tool instead of
modifying all existing toolchains on this planet seems to me a more
feasible solution.
