PATCH v2 1/1 efibootmgr: Pass correct flags to compiler from pkg-config

efivar.h is in usr/include/efirvar directory so it should be added to include search path via -I to compiler cmdline to fix

make[1]: *** No rule to make target 'efivar.h', needed by 'efibootmgr.o'. Stop. | make[1]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....

When running clang to generate dependencies -MM -MG -MF it still parses the compile unit and complains if certain header is not found where as gcc does not do that, hence the compile error is only seen when compiling with clang.

FIx is use a weak default assignment for PKGS var which is used by pkg-config to deduce compiler flags, this helps in getting right -I flags even for dep step

It would be better to backport the upstream fix instead:

        of the darkness. There had been need of rain for many days.
       "Only a promise," Lao Er said.
