 mk/tools/tools.SunOS.mk:
 
   .if ${OS_VERSION} == "5.11" && exists(/usr/bin/pkg-config)
   TOOLS_PLATFORM.pkg-config?=     /usr/bin/pkg-config
   .endif
 
 Cygwin is the only other platform to define TOOLS_PLATFORM for pkg-config,
 and I'm not sure we should be doing it for SunOS.
 
 We do not ship /usr/bin/pkg-config on SmartOS, which is likely why our
 bulk builds do not show these failures.
 
 I'm +1 for ripping it out so that USE_TOOLS+=pkg-config DTRT.
