Without the change build fails on binutils-2.39 branch as:

pkgconfig was aliased in 2018, however, it remained in
all-packages.nix due to its wide usage. This cleans
up the remaining references to pkgs.pkgsconfig and
moves the entry to aliases.nix.
python3Packages.pkgconfig remained unchanged because
it's the canonical name of the upstream package
on pypi.
Apparently, without this patch `NT_PRSTATUS` is not found. So the patch
adds the include apparently necessary. `NT_PRSTATUS` is also defined in
`<linux/ptrace.h>`, which would likely have been a better name, were it
not in the `linux/` directory, which is a priori not stable.
The need to do that is kind of weird (the change was introduced in [1],
and fedora apparently didn't need this additional import), but I'll try
to upstream it.

One should depend on
- `stdenv.cc.bintools`: for executables at build time
- `libbfd` or `libiberty`: for those libraries
- `targetPackages.cc.bintools`: for exectuables at *run* time
- `binutils`: only for specifically GNU Binutils's executables, regardless of
the host platform, at run time.
In line with the Nixpkgs manual.
A mechanical change, done with this command:
find pkgs -name "*.nix" | \
while read f; do \
sed -e 's/description\s*=\s*"\([a-z]\)/description = "\u\1/' -i "$f"; \
done
I manually skipped some:
* Descriptions starting with an abbreviation, a user name or package name
* Frequently generated expressions (haskell-packages.nix)
