 This thing is clearly not cross-compile friendly. You'll have to add a patch
that replaces all this rubbish with something using PKG_CHECK_MODULES. It should
actually also update CFLAGS and LDFLAGS according the pkg-config results, so it
won't be completely trivial. But you should be able to replace about 20 lines of
configure.ac with just 4 lines using PKG_CHECK_MODULES.

 Preferably, you should also upstream that patch to introduce PKG_CHECK_MODULES,
so we don't have to carry that patch forever.
