Hello again! I promise this will be my last libxcrypt bug report for a while because I got things working nicely now. One last minor issue. :) I'd like to avoid calling pkg-config entirely in the USE=headers-only case because it's not necessary and during early bootstrapping (both llvm and also the bazel builds in ChromiumOS), it might end up calling the wrong host unprefixed pkg-config. I created a patch for this and, while I'm at it, added a second patch to clarify the intended use of headers-only in metadata.xml. Many thanks for your help with these bugs & patches!

The usefulness of this is mostly for early compiler bootstrapping, to break circular deps like: compiler-rt -> libxcrypt -> complier-rt There is no need to have a working pkg-config, the env var PKG_CONFIG is empty, there might not even be any setup for cross-*/pkgconf and the configure step will likely end up calling the host pkg-config (which will fail my profile sanity checks). So we set to a known no-op value just for USE=headers-only leaving all the non-headers builds to pick the correct variant as before.
