There has been no change of heard, I was simply not paying attention.
That said, I guess this might be one of those cases that cannot easily
be solved properly due to the bad design practices of the libdirac
developers.  pkg-config is hell when cross-compiling, but I'd be
surprised if libdirac can be cross-compiled at all, let alone run on
anything non-x86, so this isolated instance probably doesn't make
things any worse than libdirac already is.
