Some people solve the cross-compiling in Yocto
by using pkg-config.
For example,

dtc: Use pkg-config to locate libyaml
Using Makefile's wildcard with absolute path to detect
the presence of libyaml results in false-positive
detection when cross-compiling e.g. in yocto environment.
mconf-cfg.sh already allows the path flexibility with pkg-config.
Why do you want yet another hook?
