I don't know the BE that well.

What we do with the lsb-build-* packages (in other words, lsbcc)
is provide some custom pkg-config stubs, so that this
incantation:

PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/opt/lsb/lib/pkgconfig

really helps with the problems of pkgconfig pulling in extra
unneeded libs.

That is odd, it should be configured to take care of this.


I'll respond more on the others (if someone doesn't beat me
to it - hint, hint) next week.
