The default pkg-config tool may be changed by setting the PKG_CONFIG environment variable.
+For security reasons, only a limited set of flags are allowed, notably -D, -I, and -l.
+To allow additional flags, set CGO_CFLAGS_ALLOW to a regular expression
+matching the new flags. To disallow flags that would otherwise be allowed,
+set CGO_CFLAGS_DISALLOW to a regular expression matching arguments
+that must be disallowed. In both cases the regular expression must match

When building, the CGO_CFLAGS, CGO_CPPFLAGS, CGO_CXXFLAGS, CGO_FFLAGS and
CGO_LDFLAGS environment variables are added to the flags derived from
these directives. Package-specific flags should be set using the
directives, not the environment variables, so that builds work in

All the cgo CPPFLAGS and CFLAGS directives in a package are concatenated and
used to compile C files in that package. All the CPPFLAGS and CXXFLAGS
