I also stumbled over this issue. In my opinion setting PKG_CONFIG_PATH is wrong for two reasons:
* it overwrites the PKG_CONFIG_PATH from the environment
* it makes pkg-config still search the non-cross-compile default paths

So for example if I want to cross-compile for mingw-w64 and do not have a cross-compiled version of "libsndfile" but a native version, calling "x86_64-w64-mingw32-pkg-config sndfile ..." will return the info for the native library and compilation will fail at a later step.

My suggested fix would be to use PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR instead, see attached file "pkg-config-crosswrapper.patch" and https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3093
