For one, OpenWrt does provide a host pkg-config which is built as part
of the build process (does not rely on the existing host pkg-config),
setting CROSS_COMPILE to e.g: $(STAGING_DIR)/host/bin/ would look a
little weird to me.

The other build environment (stblinux) does not have a valid pkg-config
at all and this is what motivated this change in the first place.

Humm, true that should work as well, I will give this some more testing,
thanks!
