More precisely: it will simply not work. The <pkg>_CONFIG_SCRIPTS
mechanism assumes that the <pkg>-config files are shell scripts, in a
certain format. With an ELF executable compiled for the target:

 1/ There's no way the <pkg>_CONFIG_SCRIPTS mechanism can work

 2/ There's no real point in keeping this file on the build machine,
    because it's an executable built for the target.
