i have cmake installed on my system. i can not update the mac os, xcode 10.x. I found a turn around.
i downloaded pkgconf from github
git clone https://github.com/pkgconf/pkgconf.git
then to generate the make file i used

cd pkgconfg
cmake ./
make

now copy pkgconf to mxe/usr/x86-apple-darwin17.70/installed

cd mxe/
make 

and now it passes

now autotools need alocal ? again
