Bug#922646: cadabra FTCBFS: wrong pkg-config/strip

[Kasper Peeters <kasper.peeters@phi-sci.com>]

I'm happy to merge this with my master branch,  but please note that all development now takes place on cadabra2, for which packages will be in debian soon. There really isn't any good reason anymore to keep using cadabra1, except backward compatibility with existing old notebooks.

Cheers, 
Kasper

cadabra fails to cross build from source. For some reason, it calls
pkg-config from Makefile.in. Specifically, the wrong pkg-config after
./configure detected the right one and thus it uses the wrong flags
after ./configure detected the right ones. Instead, the values detected
by ./configure should be propagated to the relevant Makefiles. It also
runs the wrong strip. Stripping is generally a bad idea, because it
breaks DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=nostrip as well as generating -dbgsym packages
beyond breaking cross compilation. The attached patch fixes both and
should be upstreamable. Please consider applying it.
