  • Meelis Roos reported a {menu,n}config regression:
    "I have libncurses devel package installed in the default system
    location (as do 99%+ on actual developers probably) and in this
    case, pkg-config is useless. pkg-config is needed only when
    libraries and headers are installed in non-default locations but
    it is bad to require installation of pkg-config on all the machines
    where make menuconfig would be possibly run."

    For {menu,n}config, do not use pkg-config if it is not installed.
    For {g,x}config, keep checking pkg-config since we really rely on it
    for finding the installation paths of the required packages.

    Fixes: 4ab3b80159d4 ("kconfig: check for pkg-config on make {menu,n,g,x}config")
