Yes, I know. But if you want to cross compile using an unmodified
sysroot enviroment and cross compiler, you will get into troubles
adding '=' to the output pkg-config, foo-config, automake check etc.

For pkg-config, it is possible to learn pkg-config itself to do it, but
if you need to embed pkg-config output to foo-config, you will get into
troubles.

IMHO nicer implementation would be:
"gcc -sysroot=/target -use-sysroot-in-include"

I tried to write a stupid bash wrapper on top of gcc, which was able to
do it. Using "export CC=/cross/bin/gcwrap", I was able to build
programs, that pass -I/usr/include/glib-2.0 to $CC.
