The most awkward > part in both cases is getting the 32-bit pkg-config right. Agreed, having the distro-specific bits is not pretty. Would it be possible to set the pkgconfig binary name or PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR in config/x86/meson.build? If so, maybe we could have a single cross-file and probe for the distro-specifics in meson.build.
