That's not going to do anything because the .pc file will still point
to the install location. You could however create a completely separate
libvirt.pc file just for in-tree usage that pointed to stuff in the
$build_dir, and then set PKG_CONFNIG_PATH to point to the directory
containing that .pc file instead of the real one.
