[systemd-devel] [PATCH] build: generate pkg-config files during configure

[Umut Tezduyar Lindskog]

Ok! I have another problem with pc files but I solve it downstream.
When I configure systemd with --configure=/usr and set the DESTDIR to
my host path, the pc files don't have the DESTDIR extension. I solve
it manually by 'sed'ding the files after installation. I thought maybe
your patch solves this problem too. Thanks!
