That configuration sets prefix=/usr during "configure", then sets
prefix=$(DESTDIR) during "make install", which seems inconsistent.
(All this prefix juggling is a result of the Hurd Makefiles not
natively understanding DESTDIR.)

If xkeyboard-config.pc is not installed, you'll need to add
--datarootdir='${prefix}/usr/share' so that "$datadir" expands to
"$(DESTDIR)/usr/share" on install.  If xkeyboard-config.pc is
installed, you can probably get it to work by adding the following
line to "configure":

XKB_BASE="$PKG_CONFIG --define-variable=prefix='${prefix}/usr'
--variable=xkb_base xkeyboard-config"

Thanks.
