Severity: minor

Hi,

lintian reports the following warning:

W: aide source: autotools-pkg-config-macro-not-cross-compilation-safe configure.ac (line 32)
N:
N:    The package appears to use AC_PATH_PROG to discover the location of
N:    pkg-config(1). This macro fails to select the correct version to support
N:    cross-compilation.
N:
N:    A better way would be to use the PKG_PROG_PKG_CONFIG macro from pkg.m4
N:    and then using the $PKG_CONFIG shell variable.
N:
N:    Refer to https://bugs.debian.org/884798 for details.

N:    Severity: normal, Certainty: possible

This looks like it's best fixed upstream.

Marc
