It essentially returns the same thing. 
Even though libfprint.pc has "-L{libdir}" in the Libs: statement,
somehow, it's not passing it in the output. Don't know why :(

On my ubuntu box, this is what I get:

kunal at plutonium:~$ pkg-config --libs libfprint
-lfprint  
kunal at plutonium:~$

BTW, the version packaged for ubuntu seems to be old. 
The version string is 0.0.6-2ubuntu2.
I don't know how old that is - I've started following fprint project recently.
