Subject: [PATCH] fedora pkgconf fix

RedHat has a long indirect call of shell scripts to finally invoke /usr/bin/pkgconfig; Vanagons LD_LIBRARY_PATH breaks this chain. We will skip the call chain. See code comment for details.

+    # RedHat has a long call chain for package-config
+    #
+    # Explanation:
+    # redhat derivatives use a pkg-conf-shim. Detailed call path:
+    #     /usr/bin/pkg-config --exists augeas
+    # calls
+    #    LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/puppetlabs/puppet/lib rpm --eval '%{_target_cpu}-%{_vendor}-%{_target_os}%{?_gnu}'
+    #    rpm: symbol lookup error: /lib64/librpm_sequoia.so.1: undefined symbol: EVP_idea_cfb64, version OPENSSL_3.0.0
+    # and it breaks. The intention seems to be to get the current architecture and call
+    #     /usr/bin/x86_64-linux-gnu-pkg-config
+    # which sets PKG_CONFIG_PATH variables and calls
+    #     /usr/bin/pkgconf
+    # we will skip the RedHat call stack and call the pkgconf binary directly.
