With _MUCH_ pain. Just have a look at all the AC_TRY_RUN() calls.
You'll need a *lot* of manual tweaking to get it working cleanly.

Totally unnecessary pain. Just produced by *stupid* assumptions
and design decisions. The biggest rule is: *NEVER EVER* expect
the running system to be equal to the target. This not just
applies to crosscompiling, but any cases where you want to build
for another target than the currently running system.

No, not keep bundling another library, but make the required
portions directly part of pkg-config. Just keep the actually
require code and drop the rest.
