So should I continue patching correct buildroot prefixes to all those
*-config files that
are in $(STAGING_DIR)/usr/bin or not ?

>From my $(STAGING_DIR)/usr/bin/*-config files only libpng and libxml2
and few others
do the right thing and give the buildroot prefix and not the host system
prefix.
(It took a long time for me to figure why wireshark that im trying to
compile here did not
work out with libpcap, untill I found out that the
$(STAGING_DIR)/usr/bin/pcap-config spit a
wrong prefix all the time...)
