Sorry, I was away and still didn't test all new 
tickets.

The extra-ldflags should not be necessary.

I still wonder why --pkg-config=/bin/true is 
necessary: If another version (than the one intended 
by the user) is found then he has a bad system 
installation (and has to use above work-around). 
But if no installation can be found, the work-around 
should be tested by configure.
