You previous answer probably implied this, but I just wanted to make sure: would calling 'waf configure' like I proposed above work?

And also, given the several other places where 'pkg-config'-like scripts are called I'm wondering whether a similar approach is recommended? Alternatively, is there some way to get "find_program" to use the current PATH (which in my case should have identified the cross variants of these scripts)? If this latter consideration worked then it would suffice to require that the cross variants of all 'pkg-config'-like scripts simply be in the PATH (ahead of the host variants).

Thanks again,
