You can make pkg-config check the system files as well.  In your
jhbuildrc add the line:
os.environ['PKG_CONFIG_PATH'] = prefix +
"/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/lib/pkgconfig"

(sorry if this gets garbled, its supposed to be all 1 line anyway)

Alternatively, if your compiling stuff outside of jhbuild do the
following:
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=<prefix>/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/lib/pkgconfig

If you already have this, it should automatically check the
system-installed pkg-config files.

Hope this helps
