Add --host={CLFS_TARGET} during Cross tools pkg-config configure so that the <host-triplet>-pkg-config file installed to /cross-tools/bin is named properly for when cross-compiling in temp-system. Make and Util-Linux, for example, will look for <triplet>-pkg-config based on the running host (x86_64, etc) and will look for x86_64-pkg-config on the host rather than use /cross-tools/bin/pkg-config or /cross-tools/bin/{CLFS_TARGET}-pkg-config. This will fix that.
