Ok. I've just sent a patch to fix this.

However, the way xfont_font-util is handled today is horrible. The
post-install script removes binaries compiled for the target from the
staging directory, and replaces them by symbolic links to binaries on
the host (making the incorrect assumption that they are available).

So, xfont_font-util needs be compiled for the host (using the new
infrastructure we have).

I haven't looked at the details, why are pkgconfig files needed for
font-utils ?

Great!

Could you cooperate with Paulius on this ? Like setting up a git tree
somewhere where you can collaborate and show us your code before
submitting it ?

Thanks !
