I found this problem when cross-compiling the linux Debian package. You can
find a build log (on amd64 for arm64) of how this fails on our Debian
crossbuild QA service:

https://crossqa.debian.net/build/linux_6.1.7-1_arm64_20230122165920.log

At the very bottom of that log you can see the following error message:

********************************************
** NOTICE: Failed build dependencies
**
** Required Libraries:
**   libtraceevent version 1.5 or higher
**   libtracefs version 1.3 or higher
**
** Consider installing the latest libtracefs from your
** distribution, e.g., 'dnf install libtraceevent-devel libtracefs-devel' on Fedora,
** or from source:
**
**  https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/libs/libtrace/libtraceevent.git/ 
**  https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/libs/libtrace/libtracefs.git/ 
**
********************************************

This error goes away after applying my patch. You can see that the both
libraries do get installed for arm64 at the top of the log. But they are not
found because the wrong pkg-config is used.

Thanks!

cheers, josch
