Thanks a lot for the fix. As this is not release-critical, I will apply
the patch after the bullseye freeze is over.

Bug#989954: cif-api FTCBFS: uses the build architecture pkg-config

Usertags: ftcbfs

cif-api fails to cross build from source, because the upstream configure
script uses the build architecture pkg-config. The simple solution is to
replace the relevant AC_PATH_PROG with AC_PATH_TOOL. A better solution
would likely be using PKG_CHECK_MODULES. Please consider applying the
attached patch for the simple solution.
