The ebuild contains

DEPEND="systemd? ( virtual/pkgconfig )"

so I wonder why you ended up with no pkgconfig provider being installed...

[Comment 9 Mike Gilbert 2018-08-16 17:30:12 UTC]

(In reply to Lars Wendler (Polynomial-C) from comment #8)

The configure script is broken. The pkg-config program is never tested or invoked.

Probably whoever last ran autoreconf was missing the /usr/share/aclocal/pkg.m4 file.

[Comment 10 Mike Gilbert 2018-08-16 17:32:10 UTC]

Calling eautoreconf from src_prepare resolves the issue.
