I’m not saying we should use pkg-config on Mac, all I’m asking for is what kind of breakages are expected when pkg-config is found, because I didn’t experience any, to find better way to fix it. That better way might be to set PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR to an empty value (and may be PKG_CONFIG_PATH as well), it may be something else, but I need to know what is the actual breakage that I need to fix.
I guess nobody kept track of all the various problems that got reported over time and were tracked down to polluted environments on Mac OS X (let alone the ones never even reported in the first place).
Your goal of trying to make the build experience easier is laudable, but I fear that your assumption that there is a simple, robust fix to shield the LO build from polluted environments is wrong.
Using presence of pkg-config as a canary to detect polluted environments was probably born out of pragmatism. I guess that there are further problems with polluted environments beyond presence of pkg-config.
