Come on Gustavo, no need to start being aggressive here.

Yes, that's exactly what I suggest. And actually, we already need to
add host-pkgconf in DEPENDENCIES when doing autoreconf, if the
configure.ac uses PKG_CHECK_MODULES, which is far more common than
packages using gtk-doc.m4 specifically.

PKG_CHECK_MODULES in configure.ac requiring host-pkgconf in the
DEPENDENCIES is precisely the reason why I proposed
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/340902/ some time ago. Nothing
prevents from adding a similar check to see if the package uses
the gtk-doc.m4 macros or not. That would at least warn loudly if such
macros are used without the package having host-pkgconf in its
dependencies.

Thanks,

Thomas
