the host pkg-config tool should be used with the location to
pkg-config *.pc files being specified via the PKG_CONFIG_PATH

The Freescale cross build environment is multilib which
means there are special library paths for different
cpu types. pkg-config installed along with the
other cross tools does not work...it has no clue how
to find the right libraries. So using cross-prefix
does no good. Only thing I can get to work is
explicitly setting PKG_CONFIG_PATH before running
configure.

Not sure how other cross build envionments work, but
it seems like the above method should be sufficiently
general.

I run cross builds for arm, mips, powerpc and mingw.
All of them use the cross prefix. When running make,
I neither want to specify a special PATH nor a
PKG_CONFIG_PATH. All I need is something like
"make -C bin/arm" (each cross target has its own
directory with the binaries).

The general idea of your patch is ok, but maybe you
can modify it so the cross prefix is used if there
is no PKG_CONFIG_PATH set?
