autotools-pkg-config-macro-not-cross-compilation-safe
The package appears to use AC_PATH_PROG to discover the
location of pkg-config(1). This macro fails to select the correct
version to support cross-compilation.
A better way would be to use the PKG_PROG_PKG_CONFIG macro from
pkg.m4 and then using the $PKG_CONFIG shell variable.
