(The work-around is to pass --disable-ffnvcodec, this
may be impossible to avoid with --pkg-config=true on
some systems)

That's because most of the operating systems supported by FFmpeg
do not support pkg-config (by default) - because most existing
operating systems and toolchains do not support pkg-config by
default. I consider this a major issue of our build system but others
disagree.
