It might be worth adding a section to INSTALL specifying
what's needed to build Emacs in the usual way.  This would
include a shell, make, a C compiler, standard Unix utilities
such as cp, and pkg-config.

pkg-config is not listed in the GNU coding standards as
one of the standard compilers and related programs that
Makefiles can use.  Perhaps it should be added to that list?
I'm referring to:
