Right, that's a good point.
An easier way here seems to be to either ask dpkg what architecture
pkg-config has (dpkg -s pkg-config | awk '$1 == "Architecture:" { print
$2 }') or teach pkg-config to report its own architecture. The latter
is a bit more work, but quite doable, the former seems quite easy, and I
think, pretty robust?
