1) Change A to install a pkg-config file (.pc) which contains the
variable that should be added to the PATH.  B can then extract it in its
build scripts with "pkg-config --variable binpath A.pc"
2) Change A to install an executable shell script which, when run,
outputs the path element.  Relevant art: ls /usr/bin/*config on a recent
Fedora install with a wide selection of -devel packages.
3) Hardcode the path in B

Don't try to fix at the meta-build (mock) level problems which are
perfectly solvable at the component (package) level.
