PKG_CONFIG_PATH during build step should include multiarch paths
Metadata
Current evaluation
Snapcraft build step sets PKG_CONFIG_PATH to only $SNAPCRAFT_STAGE/lib/pkgconfig, missing multiarch lib/<triplet>/pkgconfig paths, so .pc files installed there are not found by later parts. Unlabelled, zero comments, ~8 years old.
Suggested action: needs triage
Reason: No labels, no maintainer comments, no assignee, and no activity in ~8 years, so it has never been triaged. The underlying behavior is now handled by craft-parts, whose get_pkg_config_paths(root, arch_triplet) already computes pkg-config paths per arch triplet (craft_parts/executor/environment.py:145), so a maintainer should verify whether the multiarch path is still missing before deciding to fix or close.
