The problem is that, at least on Debian, pkg-config isn't multi-arch itself,
which means that since the -dev packages would depend on it, it would change
nothing.

The alternative would be to use a Debian-specific way to get the "current"
architecture gnu triplet from the curl-config script instead of hard-condig it,
but I haven't tried that yet.
