Duh! ;-)

According to the commit message we gained a kconfig dependency on
pkg-config in 4.18.  I wonder what else depends on it.

Ah:

"pkg-config
----------

The build system, as of 4.18, requires pkg-config to check for installed
kconfig tools and to determine flags settings for use in
'make {g,x}config'.  Previously pkg-config was being used but not
verified or documented."
