If you do set PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR (_not_ PKG_CONFIG_PATH), then the host 
pkgconfig tool will work correctly. Since it only reads text files, there is 
simply no need to have a target-specific pkconfig.

You can setup pkgconfig in the toolchain file as a work-around, though. You 
have to do that for standard include paths (/include, /usr/include) anyway.
