Public bug reported:

I was wondering, why my Jenkins build failed after upgrade to Ubutnu
14.04, now I see that in pkg-config-crosswrapper my variable
PKG_CONFIG_PATH is brutally overwritten.

How am I supposed to set a PKG_CONFIG_PATH in a cross-compile
environment?

IMHO: PKG_CONFIG_PATH must not be overwritten in pkg-config-
crosswrapper.

I now manually edited /usr/share/pkg-config-crosswrapper (added 
":${PKG_CONFIG_PATH}") to become:
{{{
#! /bin/sh
# pkg-config wrapper for cross-building
# Sets pkg-config search path to target arch path only.

triplet=`basename $0 | sed -e 's:-pkg-config::'`
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/lib/${triplet}/pkgconfig:/usr/${triplet}/lib/pkgconfig:${PKG_CONFIG_PATH}
 pkg-config $@
}}}

My jenkins build script is:

{{{ (added ":${PKG_CONFIG_PATH}")
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=${HOME}/qt-${MINGW}/lib/pkgconfig \
  CPPFLAGS="-I${WORKSPACE}/usr/include" \
  LDFLAGS="-L${WORKSPACE}/usr/lib" \
  ./configure --prefix=${WORKSPACE}/usr --host=${MINGW}
make all install
}}}


Manually changing a package-provided file is a dirty hack. So do you change 
your code or do I have another/better way for providing my additional path?
