Hmm this is tricky because pkg-config really should be the portable way
to get at these flags. Perhaps we could just fall back to sensible
defaults if pkg-config fails?

On my 12.04 system (with the lttng PPA) it works fine:

$>pkg-config --libs lttng-ust
-llttng-ust -ldl  
$>pkg-config --cflags lttng-ust
-I/usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu  

Is there a bug raised with the Ubuntu upstream to fix their stable LTTNG package?
