Public bug reported:
Attempting to cross-compile ncurses with xdeb results in failure when
attempting to install pkg-config files. This is because autotools
inferred that PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR=/usr/$(HOST_GNU_TYPE)/lib/pkgconfig,
which does not exist when configure is run. This results in configure
disabling generation of pkgconfig's .pc files (which would have been put
in the wrong location even if they had been generated).
The solution as far as I can see is to export PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR in
debian/rules and ensure that this directory exists when configure is
invoked. A patch to accomplish this is attached.
