brltty builds host tools which rely on the expat library, and
pkg-config is used to detect the expat library.
Since commit cd16e18584 ("pkgconf:
always keep system libs"), the wrapper script added
--keep-system-libs, which adds a -L$(STAGING_DIR)/usr/lib to the
pkg-config results instead of just -lexpat. So, previously, by chance,
the pkg-config result for the target expat was "good enough" for the
host expat as well. But now that -L$(STAGING_DIR)/usr/lib is added, it
breaks the build in all sort of ways as obviously building host
binaries with the library search path pointing to $(STAGING_DIR) is
not a good idea.
To fix that, this commit adjusts the brltty build system so that the
PKG_CONFIG_FOR_BUILD variable is used when using pkg-config to build
host binaries.

Many thanks to the initial work from Fabrice Fontaine at
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/1238163/ which provided an initial
starting point for this investigation.
