I'm ok with this patch; a quick grep though shows a few more open
coded instances of pkg-config.  Should we fix those up, too? i.e.

certs/Makefile:92:HOSTCFLAGS_extract-cert.o = $(shell pkg-config
--cflags libcrypto 2> /dev/null)
certs/Makefile:93:HOSTLDLIBS_extract-cert = $(shell pkg-config --libs
libcrypto 2> /dev/null || echo -lcrypto)
scripts/kconfig/gconf-cfg.sh
tools/perf/Makefile.perf
tools/ in general
