The 'PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR' seems not taken into account by meson, Akhil reported a 
32bit build error when zlib is missing, I can reproduce the same.

I have only 64bit version of the library:

$ pkg-config --path zlib
/usr/lib64/pkgconfig/zlib.pc

$ PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR=/usr/lib/pkgconfig/ pkg-config --path zlib
<no output>
$ echo $?
1

When I run the meson as following:
"PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR=/usr/lib/pkgconfig/ meson --werror -Dc_args=-m32 
-Dc_link_args=-m32 -Dexamples=all build32"

It still detects the zlib:
Run-time dependency zlib found: YES 1.2.11

And build fails:
/usr/bin/ld: /usr/lib64/libz.so: error adding symbols: file in wrong format


If I install the 32 bit version of the zlib, everything works as expected:
$ PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR=/usr/lib/pkgconfig/ pkg-config --path zlib
/usr/lib/pkgconfig//zlib.pc


As far as I can see there is a meson 'pkg_config_libdir' property, putting it to 
the config/arm/arm64_* can solve the issue for arm, @Hemant can you please try it?
Some more details on:
github.com/mesonbuild/meson/blob/master/docs/markdown/Cross-compilation.md


But not sure how to solve issue for 32bit build, any idea?
