Comment (by Cigaes):

 Look at the commit message, this is completely intentional.

 And for this one, I must say I fully agree with Luca: pkg-config has been
 around for years and is nowadays an essential element of a build
 environment. Maintaining ways of overriding it is IMHO wasted time,
 because it is redoing in FFmpeg work that is already been done by the
 library upstream, and not redoing better. Fixing the few cases where pkg-
 config is badly used in the build system, if there are still any, is much
 better spent time.

 I support closing this as wontfix, and officially announcing that all
 similar complaints will be closed with the same answer: install pkg-
 config.
