Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Revert "Use pcfiledir for prefix in pkgconfig file"
The change makes implicit assumptions on the layout of the install
tree, which is going to break in many ways.
The correct solution is to use the `PKG_CONFIG_SYSROOT_DIR` variable
to inject the cross-compiled sysroot into `-I` and `-L` paths.

pkg-config will also try to look in `PKG_CONFIG_PATH` to find `gtest_main.pc`.
+
+### Using pkg-config in a cross-compilation setting
+
+Pkg-config can be used in a cross-compilation setting too. To do this, let's
+assume the final prefix of the cross-compiled installation will be `/usr`,
+and your sysroot is `/home/MYUSER/sysroot`. Configure and install GTest using
+
+```
+mkdir build && cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr ..
+```
+
+Install into the sysroot using `DESTDIR`:
+
+```
+make -j install DESTDIR=/home/MYUSER/sysroot
+```
+
+Before we continue, it is recommended to **always** define the following two
+variables for pkg-config in a cross-compilation setting:
+
+```
+export PKG_CONFIG_ALLOW_SYSTEM_CFLAGS=yes
+export PKG_CONFIG_ALLOW_SYSTEM_LIBS=yes
+```
+
+otherwise `pkg-config` will filter `-I` and `-L` flags against standard
+prefixes such as `/usr` (see https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=28264#c3
+for reasons why this stripping needs to occur usually).
+
+If you look at the generated pkg-config file, it will look something like
+
+```
+libdir=/usr/lib64
+includedir=/usr/include
+
+Name: gtest
+Description: GoogleTest (without main() function)
+Version: 1.10.0
+URL: https://github.com/google/googletest
+Libs: -L${libdir} -lgtest -lpthread
+Cflags: -I${includedir} -DGTEST_HAS_PTHREAD=1 -lpthread
+```
+
+Notice that the sysroot is not included in `libdir` and `includedir`! If you
+try to run `pkg-config` with the correct
+`PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR=/home/MYUSER/sysroot/usr/lib64/pkgconfig` against this `.pc`
+file, you will get
+
+```
+$ pkg-config --cflags gtest
+-DGTEST_HAS_PTHREAD=1 -lpthread -I/usr/include
+$ pkg-config --libs gtest
+-L/usr/lib64 -lgtest -lpthread
+```
+
+which is obviously wrong and points to the `CBUILD` and not `CHOST` root.
+In order to use this in a cross-compilation setting, we need to tell
+pkg-config to inject the actual sysroot into `-I` and `-L` variables. Let us
+now tell pkg-config about the actual sysroot
+
+```
+export PKG_CONFIG_DIR=
+export PKG_CONFIG_SYSROOT_DIR=/home/MYUSER/sysroot
+export PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR=${PKG_CONFIG_SYSROOT_DIR}/usr/lib64/pkgconfig
+```
+
+and running `pkg-config` again we get
+
+```
+$ pkg-config --cflags gtest
+-DGTEST_HAS_PTHREAD=1 -lpthread -I/home/MYUSER/sysroot/usr/include
+$ pkg-config --libs gtest
+-L/home/MYUSER/sysroot/usr/lib64 -lgtest -lpthread
+```
+
+which contains the correct sysroot now. For a more comprehensive guide to
+also including `${CHOST}` in build system calls, see the excellent tutorial
+by Diego Elio Pettenò: https://autotools.io/pkgconfig/cross-compiling.html
