hintview fails to cross build from source, because it does not pass
cross tools to make. The easiest way of doing so - using dh_auto_build -
mostly fixes that except for pkg-config, which uses the non-standard
PKGCONFIG variable rather than PKG_CONFIG. I suggest renaming it
upstream. Please consider applying the attached patch.
