ANSWERS
Tested with xorg-server-1.7.3:
...
checking for pkg-config... /usr/bin/pkg-config
checking pkg-config is at least version 0.9.0... yes
...
...
Same error. :(

I have pkg-config-0.23
(to this day, the latest release, 16-Jan-2008)
On 2008-06-24, pkg-config-0.23
was installed (per LFS Section 6.17.)
Unprivileged:
configure --prefix=/usr
make
make check
root:
make install
End result:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 290888 2008-06-24 09:45 /usr/bin/pkg-config

COMMENTS and CLARIFICATIONS
1. In anticipation:
xorg-server-1.7.x is compiled as unprivileged,
using the command (per BLFS Xorg-7.5),
./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --mandir=/usr/share/man \
--localstatedir=/var --with-module-dir=/usr/lib/X11/modules \
--with-xkb-output=/var/lib/xkb --enable-install-setuid

2. I remind you that I have 
 xtrans-1.2.5 (the "good" one) in '/usr/share/pkgconfig/'
 xtrans-1.2.1 (the "bad" one - part of Xorg-7.4, current during
  Xorg-7.5 build/install)
  in '/usr/lib/pkgconfig/'.

3. To "force" the error I use
 PKG_CONFIG_PATH=
  /usr/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig:/opt/qt/lib/pkgconfig
 in both unprivileged and root.
 Obviously, what matters here (for the error to happen) is
 the _unprivileged_ value.  I never reach root :)

4. By a strange coincidence, I also tried the 1.7._3_ server first.
It would hang the computer when going into X11 (from the command line)
so I went back to 1.7._1_ in order to be legal with BLFS.
1.7.1 has the additional benefit that it works just fine :)

Regards,
-- Alex
