And then fix *EVERY* f*cking package I want to build?

FFS, read my emails again.  For the record, here's my
arm-unknown-linux-gnueabi-pkg-config:

---8<---
#! /bin/sh

CTARGET=$(basename ${0%-pkg-config})
SYSROOT=/usr/${CTARGET}
export PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR="${SYSROOT}/usr/lib/pkgconfig"
unset PKG_CONFIG_PATH PKG_CONFIG_ALLOW_SYSTEM_CFLAGS PKG_CONFIG_ALLOW_SYSTEM_LIBS
exec pkg-config "$@"
--->8---

That is what the Gentoo cross-compiling instructions told me to put in
that file.

How many times do I have to repeat myself?  It FINDS THE CORRECT .pc
FILES.  It is THE CONTENT OF THESE FILES that is a LIE.  If it
bothered, pkg-config *could* fix it by prepending the sysroot, but IT
DOESN'T.  Is that so god damned difficult to understand?
