[yocto] many "pkgconfig is needed" errors when building core-image-sato-dev for beagle

[Robert P. J. Day]

  i'm sure there's a simple solution for this but i'm building
core-image-sato-dev for the beagleboard on my 64-bit ubuntu system
and the build eventually fails with *numerous* errors of the form:

Processing ...something...-dev:
   error: Failed dependencies:
   pkgconfig is needed ...
   pkgconfig is needed ...
   ... etc etc ...

there are *pages* of that type of output for multiple tasks (the build
of core-image-sato worked fine).

  i suspect the solution is something along the lines of this patch by
tom zanussi:

but i'm not sure where to make the change.  suggestions?
