pkg-config, noarch, and rpmlint

I have a case where a package is noarch and it provides pkg-config support.

The problem is that pkg-config expects a noarch file corresponding to 
the package to be stored in
     ${_libdir}/pkgconfig
and  rpmlint complains that
      cppad.spec:112: W: libdir-macro-in-noarch-package devel 
%{_libdir}/pkgconfig/%{name}.pc
