Comment(by pebender@…):

 I do not understand the prepending of ${sysroot} to taglib-config. First,
 as there is no / between ${sysroot} and taglib-config, if
 sysroot=/home/user/cross-compile, then the result would be /home/user
 /cross-compiletagelib-config. Second, it is very unlikely that taglib-
 config is located in ${sysroot}. It is much more likely that it is located
 in ${sysroot}/usr/bin.

 As an aside, I have found that programs using their own *-config script
 rather than pkg-config are a pain. However, they can be fixed without
 modifying the configure scripts and make files that call them. In order to
 make them work, two things must be done when installing the *-config
 script. First, the *-config script needs to be patched so that it returns
 the correct path including the ${sysroot} directory. Second, the *-config
 script needs to be installed in a directory that is in the executable
 search path. After doing these two things, configure scripts and make
 files that call the *-config script will work as expected.
