[PATCH v1 1/6] perf: build: Setup PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR for cross compilation

[Leo Yan]

On recent Linux distros like Ubuntu Noble and Debian Bookworm, the
'pkg-config-aarch64-linux-gnu' package is missing. As a result, the
aarch64-linux-gnu-pkg-config command is not available, which causes
build failures.

Alternatively, this commit sets the PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR environment
variable dynamically based on the cross compiler to ensure the correct
package configurations.
