I think the best/simplest solution is to just copy the aclocal files
of the cross tools (pkgconfig +auto*) from HOST_DIR to STAGING_DIR and
point ACLOCAL_DIR to STAGING_DIR - I'll give it a test.

pkg-config to make it look in staging_dir and not the host directory,
and the auto* stuff simply because of the exact version dependencies
(E.G. certain stuff works with 2.61 and not with 2.63 or the other
way, so it keeps us a bit more sane to know that everyone uses the
same version).
