I run cross builds for arm, mips, powerpc and mingw.
All of them use the cross prefix. When running make,
I neither want to specify a special PATH nor a
PKG_CONFIG_PATH. All I need is something like
"make -C bin/arm" (each cross target has its own
directory with the binaries).

The general idea of your patch is ok, but maybe you
can modify it so the cross prefix is used if there
is no PKG_CONFIG_PATH set?
