Pkgconfig may be affected too, but usually building runs just fine if
pkg-config is missing, except for the warnings and the fact that configure may
not find some libraries it may find otherwise.  To make this warning go away,
pkg.m4 needs to be correctly installed on your system in a location where
aclocal will find it.  For me, it is in debian package pkg-config in the path
/usr/share/aclocal/pkg.m4.  If it is in the same location on your computer and
accessible, then there is a strange difference in the behaviour of aclocal.

Now this is the really strange and interesting part.  What does the generated
configure script contain around the lines 34476-34484?  It looks to me like
something is overquoted there.

As an alternative it may be a good idea to try the cmake buildsystem (see
dunecontrol --help), since the autotools buildsystem is going to be deprecated
in the next release.

If you receive something that says "Send this to everyone you know,"
pretend you don't know me.
