Sorry, kind a late thought here for v4, but we don't seem to prefix
many other host side tools with HOST_, i.e. LEX, YACC, AWK, PERL,
PYTHON3, etc.  Maybe just having the variable identifier be simply
PKGCONFIG rather than HOSTPKG_CONFIG then put it at the end of the
list in the top level Makefile after ZSTD (i.e. the list of host
tools)?  There's HOST_ prefixes when there's more than one tool
involved (i.e. host compiler vs target compiler), but I suspect
there's no such distinction for the existing uses of pkg-config?

Otherwise, sorry for opening a bikeshed so late; this patch still LGTM.
