So I wonder why the FAIL info appears in the presence of *$(shell pkg-config --libs alsa) *in alsa/Makefile. Is it some sort of bug or did I miss something?

I think that's a bug in this tool you're running - it's not understanding the $(shell ...) and generating false positives, not 100% sure what it's trying to do but it's fairly clearly parsing every element in the statement as a dependency of some kind.
