What is the rationale not to backpatch this? The error message changes,
but we do not translate configure output, so is this a problem/project
policy to never change configure output in the back-branches?

If the change is too invasive, would something like the initial patch I
suggested (i.e., in the absense of pkg-config, add a more targetted
error message) be acceptable for the back-branches?
