Details:
This is similar to Bug#52779 but not identical, so I'm reporting it as a
separate bug.

This is because newer pkg.m4 macros now use m4_pattern_forbid to reserve their
own namespace. Proposed patch attached.
P.S. PKG_PROG_PKG_CONFIG is AC_REQUIREd by PKG_CHECK_MODULES and generally
shouldn't be necessary to be called explicitly. However, the first call to
PKG_CHECK_MODULES (for xext) is conditional and that's why the macro is not
expanded and later it fails to detect cairo. If you use AS_IF instead of
plain "if" autoconf would be able to "see" that and the AC_REQUIRE machinery
would work. So, either an explicit call to PKG_PROG_PKG_CONFIG is neeeded, or
rewrite the if statement as
AS_IF([test "$HAVE_LIBXext" = no], [PKG_CHECK_MODULES([XEXT], [xext])])
