I've tried layer.conf change in our builds and it causes _a lot_ of
pkgconfig issues, but in most cases they are easy to spot in failed task
log and easy to fix. With ~ 100 fixed recipes I can build the images again
:). I've already merged bunch of these fixes in various layers and queued
it for others. I've seen a lot of these fixes for meta-oe layers from Khem
as well, so I think it's also getting ready. But possibly less impressive
improvement and more fixes still needed for other external layers. Maybe we
could add pkgconfig inherit in e.g. cmake.bbclass, that would at least in
my case eliminate maybe 90% cases where I needed to add pkgconfig inherit
(because native pkgconfig is called from CMake's FindPkgConfig).
