I am aware of this issue. The problem is, that there is no setup that works
for all packages. Packages like Qt that try to be clever usually cause the
biggest problems because the are all 'clever' in different way.
Having a pkg-config that just provides the correct paths works for most
things. The initial implementation of our current pkg-config wrapper
predates PKG_CONFIG_SYSROOT_DIR. Maybe we could change this now, but this
will take a lot of careful review.
Setting PKG_CONFIG_SYSROOT_DIR=/ will help in this case.

Regards,
Michael
