[ptxdist] glib can't find libffi for target platform

[desmond <desmond.correia@prolucid.ca>]

Hello, 

I have been using ptxdist2013.12.0 for sometime now with ubuntu15.04 without 
any problems. 

I recently upgraded to Ubuntu16 and I am running into a problem when the 
build system tries to build glib for the target platform. It can't seem to 
find libffi.

This is under the .prepare step for the target build. libffi was successfully 
built for the target already.

--------------------
target: glib.prepare
--------------------

checking for LIBFFI... no
configure: error: in `home/Toolchain/TQMa28/TQ-ARM-BSP-REV.0109/platform-
tqma28/build-target/glib-2.36.4':
configure: error: The pkg-config script could not be found or is too old.  
Make sure it
is in your PATH or set the PKG_CONFIG environment variable to the full
path to pkg-config.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables LIBFFI_CFLAGS
and LIBFFI_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

I had downgraded gawk to 4.1.1 because I was getting a ton of warning. I also 
tried export LIBFFI_CFLAGS and LIBFFI_LIBS, but I think ptxdist discard the 
environment variables that I set.

I can provide more of the log if needed.

Any help will be much appreciated. 

Thanks
