Quite probably. I honestly do not understand why there are multiple ways to do this and why both of them are actively being used. https://codesearch.debian.net/search?q=%24%24system%28%24%24PKG_CONFIG&literal=1 Most of the existing uses do initialize the variable though. If that is really needed, I'd expect it to be interpolated empty and that should fail native and cross builds in the same way. So if this works natively, go ahead. Helmut
