Didn't realize a binary such as pkg-config existed, couldn't find it in 
the web site (probably, not having that key piece of info lead me to 
make some wrong assumptions).  OK, I can trace all the rest out from 
this info, I guess.

Thanks very much, I *think* all the rest of my system's problems are 
dealing with the AMD64's compiler (32 bit versus 64 bit problems, and 
the fact that the multilib build part of gcc isn't building, killing the 
-m32 part for me).  Darn supplied compiler, they were sharp, they didn't 
supply a -m32 capable compiler.
