Hoping you have a good reason for doing this as this is not the intended use of '--prefix' and pkg-config. If you're wanting to create packages, then this is not how it's done. 

About the "FcFini" error, please check config.log file for the package in question. In that file search for pattern "FcFini", you should find the associated conftest program used to test for 'FcFini' support. This program and the gcc line used to compile it will indicate what is wrong. 

Hope that helps.
