When cross compiling QEMU configured with --static, I've been getting

for glib-2.0 with method 'pkgconfig' failed: Could not generate libs
for glib-2.0:
Package libpcre2-8 was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `libpcre2-8.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
Package 'libpcre2-8', required by 'glib-2.0', not found
This happens because --static sets the prefer_static Meson option, but
my build machine doesn't have a static libpcre2. I don't think it
makes sense to insist that native dependencies are static, just
because I want the non-native QEMU binaries to be static.

Thanks for the patch, Alyssa - I'll give it a try.
Hmm - ok, I misunderstood the intent of the change because I didn't read
the commit message too carefully. I understand the goal now.
This seems appropriate in most situations, and I guess configure doesn't
have a way to distinguish between whether host tools should be static or
not. So it LGTM.
Anton, Alessandro -- thoughts?
