You're misunderstanding my conclusions. The backticks *do* work in the
end, since they're passed through to the shell, and the shell interprets
them the way the OP seems to want.
The missing -I is probably it. It's interesting that pkg-config --cflags
and pg_config --includedir deviate in this way.
