I don't think we provide a way to do this, as I don't think it's
currently common for *-config scripts or pkg-config files to give out
this information.  Perhaps this is an omission in the current state of
the art for build-time dependency discovery.

Can you simply check whether you are able to successfully load the GSS
library and run the tests if it works?  (I'm assuming that you are
loading the library with dlopen or similar.  If you are building a
program and linking against it, you can similarly check for the success
or failure of the linker.)
