brltty builds host tools which rely on the expat library, and
pkg-config is used to detect the expat library.
Since commit cd16e18584066d2817d3acb3822e173f9f23455e ("pkgconf:
always keep system libs"), the wrapper script added
--keep-system-libs, which adds a -L$(STAGING_DIR)/usr/lib to the
pkg-config results instead of just -lexpat. So, previously, by chance,
the pkg-config result for the target expat was "good enough" for the
host expat as well. But now that -L$(STAGING_DIR)/usr/lib is added, it
breaks the build in all sort of ways as obviously building host
binaries with the library search path pointing to $(STAGING_DIR) is
not a good idea.
To fix that, this commit adjusts the brltty build system so that the
PKG_CONFIG_FOR_BUILD variable is used when using pkg-config to build
host binaries.

Many thanks to the initial work from Fabrice Fontaine at
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/1238163/ which provided an initial
starting point for this investigation.

+Subject: [PATCH] mk4build: also pass PKG_CONFIG_FOR_BUILD to the native
+ configure
+
+In commit 0414ad2b4e8978a14343d920a5a1f11da892eaf3, mk4build was
+modified to pass a number of *_FOR_BUILD variables down to the
+configure script called for building the native tools.
+
+However, this configure script also uses the pkg-config tool, and the
+pkg-config to use for the native build and the cross build may be
+different, so let's also pass PKG_CONFIG_FOR_BUILD down to the
+sub-configure, as PKG_CONFIG, following the same logic as the other
+variables.
