@Cogitri do you think the issue can be closed, then? Or is it still a possibility?

Closed issue by Cogitri on void-packages repository
https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/issues/3391
Description:
I propose to use pkgconf instead of pkg-config for building. pkgconf has some advantages to pkg-config:
* It's still actively maintained (on https://git.dereferenced.org/pkgconf/pkgconf)
* It generally is faster than pkg-config...
* ...while providing a more accurate dependency graph (which prevents excessive overlinking)
Other distros such as Arch, Fedora, Mageia and most of the BSDs already use pkg-conf. Also see the Arch ML for their thread about this topic: https://lists.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-dev-public/2018-May/029252.html

Comment:
@ericonr what about reconsidering `pkgconf`? Are there only 7 packages broken? If yes then maybe it's better to try fixing them instead of keeping to use technically inferior `pkg-config`?

I sure don't want to deal with the churn and take care of fixing any bugs that may appear. And don't revive old issues.

@ericonr OK, seems like there are many packages which will be broken by `pkgconf`:
>this massively breaks most packages cross compilation. That behavior is not in line with the spec.
It would be nice tho either to fix `pkgconf` to make it match the spec in this aspect or to alter `./xbps-src` to not to rely on this behaviour. But someone has to do this dirty job :( Certainly, not anytime soon.

P. S. Arch Linux have been using `pkgconf` for 3 years, but they don't have to support multiple architectures (Arch is x86_64/i686 only), so their experience isn't applicable to Void.
