Confirming an issue is top-posting?
Any post where the reply comes before the item to which you are
replying or commenting is top posting.
I didn't know that, and for that I apologize...
So, here you have again top-posted by putting the text you are
replying to below your reply :

I can confirm this as well, and specifying
"PKGCONFIGDIR=/usr/lib/pkgconfig" fixes the problem.
Please stop top posting on the mailing lists.
In long replies it is sometimes polite to include introductory text
*after* the "On some day at some time, someone wrote" header, but
most text (even things as minimal as '+1' or 'me too') should still
go after the text to which you are replying.
Unfortunately, gmail takes the microsoft approach and makes it
inconvenient to do this in its browser interface.
To be honest, I top post for individual messages when the recient
expects it. The issue in top posting is that it doesn't work well for
mailing lists, especially for threads with multiple posters.
It is also good practice to delete portions of the message that are
irrelevant to the reply.
