For posterity, what was happening on my system is I had hand compiled
automake/autoconf/aclocal due to a security issue with automake awhile
ago which were installed in /usr/local/bin, and my path was looking at
those first. Despite that pkg-config was installed in /usr/bin, those
binaries were unable to see it, so deleting them solved the issue.
