# `autotools-pkg-config-macro-not-cross-compilation-safe`

The package appears to use `AC_PATH_PROG` to discover the location of `pkg-config(1)`. This macro fails to select the correct version to support cross-compilation.

A better way would be to use the `PKG_PROG_PKG_CONFIG` macro from `pkg.m4` and then using the `$PKG_CONFIG` shell variable.

Severity: | `warning`
Experimental: | `false`
