Fedora is, of course, using the pkg-config default paths. People
building X outside of /usr (including the build tools in modular)
might not be prepared with the appropriate PKG_CONFIG_PATH. Arguably,
it's their fault for not being prepared since ${datadir}/pkgconfig is
completely reasonable whether it was being used yet or not.
