I think I understood the problem, but I had a look at our
cross-compiling environment at work and it doesn't look as if they
would patch any .pc files. That's why I claim that that there exists a
solution to this problem that doesn't involve any pkg-config changes
nor patches to the .pc files. I can hopefully tell you more tomorrow
after I talked to the people that administrate the build system.
