   I think the homebrew issue is separate from pkg-config. The brew check is after the pkg-config path: https://github.com/apache/arrow/blob/main/r/configure#L128 and unlike the pkg-config block above it, there is no check/warning about version mismatch. We should probably only use the homebrew library if there is a version match. Probably also ok if we wanted to make homebrew apache-arrow opt-in via environment variable.
   
   Possibly unrelated and just FYI, we do use `pkg-config` elsewhere (later) in configure to read the `.pc` files to know which other `-l` lib flags need to be added. This is used even in the bundled static build.
