When linking statically, libraries may require other dependencies to be
included to ld flags. In particular, libelf may require libzstd. Use
pkg-config to determine such dependencies.

V3 -> V4: Added "2> /dev/null".
V2 -> V3: Added missing "echo".
V1 -> V2: Implemented fallback, referring to HOSTPKG_CONFIG.

Staring at tools/bpf/resolve_btfids/Makefile, I'm trying to understand why we
cannot replicate something similar for BPF selftests?

For example, with your patch, why is it necessary to now have PKG_CONFIG and
another HOSTPKG_CONFIG var?

What about the below?

It's because at least Debian does have wrappers of pkg-config for cross 
compile targets. You can find them below:
https://packages.debian.org/search?searchon=contents&keywords=pkg-config&mode=path&suite=stable&arch=any

Having dedicated variables and checking --cflags are a good idea.
