Yeah, *something* is screwy there. What is the output of
"/sw/bin/pkg-config--version"?

Are you doing anything during the build that would alter PATH (either
adding something ahead of /sw/bin or removing /sw/bin somehow)? Might
be time to look at and debug the actual test that ./configure is doing
(it's only a 30-line chunk). Put some 'echo' of the variables to see
(especially) how PATH is.

Some configure scripts allow you to override the detection of
pkg-config (passing an explicit path to it), via a PKG_CONFIG or
ac_cv_path_PKG_CONFIG variable.

Pushing into more voodooish issues (i.e., a known issue with
pkg-config and/or bug with how it's used), if there is a previous
feature-test that uses pkg-config and that is disabled (the test
itself not being performed for whatever reason), configure sometimes
becomes unable to use pkg-config for later tests.
