This sounds wrong. You combine an arm-linux-gnueabi compiler with a
build architecture pkg-config.

It seems that your build architecture is x86_64-linux-gnu. In this line,
you are passing build architecture flags to a host architecture
compiler. That's an error.

Please use arm-linux-gnueabi-pkg-config.
