Well, it depends ;)

When people use pkgconf then this usually installs a pkg-config alias, too, so 
that would be no problem. The problem comes when other places in the kernel 
start copying that code over, and then hardcode pkg-config for stuff that 
needs a prefixed pkg-config because it is about target code.

Given that I would prefer it this way, but YMMV. If it is that variable that 
blocks integrating I'll change it.
