Just to shed some more light on this before someone goes into wrong conclusions. The initial multilib code didn't use prefixed pkg-config binaries but simple PKG_CONFIG_PATH override. However, crossdev installing i686-pc-linux-gnu-pkg-config caused configure scripts to find and use it instead of plain 'pkg-config', and since the wrapper dumbly overrides PKG_CONFIG_PATH it broke our original solution. We specifically made pkg-config packages install the prefixed binaries to trigger collisions with crossdev -- so that people who have systems broken with crossdev's i686-pc-linux-gnu-pkg-config would be more likely informed there's something wrong with their systems. -- Best regards, Michał Górny
