configure $ac_tool_prefix when discovering pkg-config

Hi,

while giving some love to seahorse-nautilus in Debian (it was removed from testing, and it would affect Tails), we fixed some building issues.

seahorse-nautilus fails to cross build from source, because it uses the
build architecture pkg-config and thus fails to find some packages at
configure time. After switching configure.ac to use the upstream macro
PKG_PROG_PKG_CONFIG, it cross compiles successfully.

Please find a patch attached.

Cheers,

Hey Clement,

Thanks for patch again! However, when i try to apply it, I get the following error:

> error: corrupt patch at line 11

Looking at the raw patch, it seems like you're missing some leading whitespace
(maybe due to some rogue editor setting?). Anyway, would you mind re-submitting the patch with the necessary fixups?

Cheers,
Niels

The build process was modernized to Meson, which fixes this.

Changing bug status to OBSOLETE.
