Comment (by kencu):

 Thanks!

 So we now have several options, it appears:

 1. We could add non-volatile binaries to the existing cross-file:
 {{{
 [binaries]
 pkg-config = '/opt/local/bin/pkg-config'
 cmake = '/opt/local/bin/cmake'
 }}}
 1. We could add PKG_CONFIG to the environment.
 1. We could write a cross-file specing all the binaries, including CXX and
 CC etc for each build as an overlay.
 1. We could patch meson to {{{allow_default_for_cross=True}}}.

 All of those would appear to solve the problem -- which one is easiest and
 least likely to cause damage?
