Seems sane.  :-)

Yep.  pkg-config's search path is (I *believe*) only /usr/lib/pkgconfig
by default, plus whatever's in $PKG_CONFIG_PATH.

How did you configure pkg-config in chapter 5?

Does libblkid.pc actually exist in /tools/lib/pkgconfig (or anywhere
else)?  (I.e. did the chapter-5 util-linux-ng "make -C libs/blkid
install" actually install it?)

Does it work to set PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/tools/lib/pkgconfig before running
the e2fsprogs configure?  If so, we might want to set --with-pc-path
when configuring pkg-config, to make that the default in the chapter 5
build.

That works too.  :-)
