pmacct fails to cross build from source, because it uses mysql_config
and mysql_config fundamentally cannot be made to work during cross
builds. A better solution is pkg-config and that actually works. Please
consider applying the attached patch to try pkg-config before
mysql_config. Doing so makes pmacct cross buildable.

Hello. I considered this patch for the QA upload I did today, but
unfortunately it did not apply cleanly, so it will have to be
next time.

Thanks.
