Yes, that's cool.
I'm rolling back to not allowing overrides to PKG_CONFIG_PATH and
PKG_CONFIG_SYSROOT_DIR since at least one package (sshfs) behaves badly.
Case in point is it does export
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH which you can
guess where it goes.
I could append instead of replace, but again, in general for the time
being i see no real benefit in allowing it, so we'd end with:

PKG_CONFIG_PATH=@PKG_CONFIG_PATH@ PKG_CONFIG_SYSROOT_DIR=@STAGING_DIR@
$(dirname $0)/pkgconf $@

Like in v1 but with your dirname recommendation.
The other fix scenario would be to make all the packages use
$(TARGET_MAKE_ENV) and fill the PKG_CONFIG* variables there.
Regards.
