the current configure script open codes the pkg-config look up:
AC_PATH_TOOL([PKG_CONFIG], [pkg-config])

rather than using the standard macro from pkg-config's own pkg.m4:
PKG_PROG_PKG_CONFIG

this causes the build env to not operate exactly like other pkg-config autoconf builds :(

simple fix:
-AC_PATH_TOOL([PKG_CONFIG], [pkg-config])
+PKG_PROG_PKG_CONFIG

I've guessed at the versions impacted, assuming of course that the change proposed inline in msg166915 is acceptable. I'm sorry but I don't know who is best qualified to put on the nosy list for this issue.
