pkg-config. Inherit the pkgconfig class in the recipe if it doesn't already, and see for example meta/recipes-devtools/swig/swig/0001-configure-use-pkg-config-for-pcre-detection.patch in oe-core for an example. This is an upstreamable change so ideally submit it upstream so you don't have to carry a patch around too.
