This doesn't feel right to me. pkg-config works for mingw32 and should
be used just as it would be on native targets. What was the problem you
actually had without this change ?

If I had to guess I'd say your pkg-config program was not configured
to prefer mingw32 data files. You need to have an env var like this set
to make it pick up mingw32 rules instead of native ones:

 export 
PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR="/usr/i686-pc-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/i686-pc-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/share/pkgconfig"
 pkg-config

Daniel
