This error started occurring only after I added /usr/pkg/bin:$PATH in
~/.bashrc. If I rollback that change the error goes away.

However then another error starts:

configure:13947: $PKG_CONFIG --exists --print-errors "pciaccess >= 0.10"
Package pciaccess was not found in the pkg-config search path.


Also tried installing native pkgconf (apt-get install pkgconf), but above
error continues. It goes away only by setting above PATH, which again
reintroduces x86_64/amd64 error.
