Comment (by rleigh at debian.org):
Hi Roland,
pkg-config does not currently support multiple toolchains natively.
However, there are plans to support it:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=130
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=217902
In the meantime, the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable may be used to
point pkg-config at the locations of files for different toolchains. In
its typical use, the files live in /usr/lib/pkgconfig, for use by the
standard system toolchain.
Note that toolchains here may have a different meaning than what Boost
uses. It would mean the common CPU-MANUFACTURER-OPSYS triplet, e.g.
powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu (my system) to work with the standard cross-
compiling setups. This doesn't include compiler information.
Regards,
Roger
