Today I was switching from Hyperbola GNU/Linux-libre to Parabola
GNU/Linux-libre and some of first programs I wanted to build was
Emacs. I have not installed enough packages, but gnutls was installed.

Emacs' configure was complaining that gnutls cannot be found. But it was
there.

By chance I was thinkin that build process maybe uses pkg-config, so I
have installed pkg-config as package. The build process then continued
and could find gnutls.

In my opinion, there shall be a check for pkg-config if Emacs is using
such or requiring such to verify for existence of some software on the
system. It is misleading if it says it cannot find gnutls, but does not
say that pkg-config is missing which is supposed to detect the gnutls.
