I recall purging .pc for this reason (just in other development, outside 
of poky).

I take it deleting .pc from the build dir would be bad as it would make 
build/hack/build fail to work on the workdir tree. That leaves changing 
the permissions and copying it, or just avoiding the copy. I'm leaning 
towards avoiding the copy - but I hate to add a ton of scripting logic 
in the copy, but that may be the best solution.
