Hi folks,

Thanks for the feedback.   I totally get the cross-compilation
environment thing, thanks.  I have all that set up.  (PowerPC,
LTIB, powerpc-e300-linux-gnu-, etc.)

My questions really pertain to the actual configure and makefile
mechanisms in these packages themselves.  For example, it seems
to me that the whole pkg-config mechanism as used in these
makefiles doesn't distinguish between the build and target include
directories.

I'll try and work up some patches.

Thanks,
jdl
