Issue Building pkg-config

[Dan Kegel]

Suggestion:
$ sudo apt install libc6-dev

or maybe

$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt-get build-dep pkg-config
$ sudo apt-get install build-essential devscripts

You can then even build the system pkg-config like this:

enable the deb-src lines in /etc/apt/sources.list, then:

$ sudo apt update
$ apt-get source pkg-config
$ cd pkg-config-0.29.1  (or whatever)
$ debuild -b -uc -us
