Comment (by rleigh_at_[hidden]):

 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
