You extract the libs all to a common directory.  pkg-config would be under
that common directory in bin.
If you put this directory in your path i.e. <common dir>/bin and <common
dir>/lib you can use the libs and binaries anywhere.

A colleague of mine did some cross compiling and it didnt take him very long
and it wasn't too difficult.  Personally I wouldn't cross compile.
