  Add more info to the docs on how to set environmental variable to
correctly build the vm_power_manager sample app in a cross compile
or multilib environment by setting PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR.

+.. Note::
+  This sample application conditionally links in the Jansson JSON

+  may need to set the ``PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR`` environmental variable to point to
+  the relevant pkgconfig folder so that the correct library is linked in.

+  For example, if you are building for a 32-bit target, you could find the
+  correct directory using the following ``find`` command:
+
+  .. code-block:: console
+
+      # find /usr -type d -name pkgconfig
+      /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/pkgconfig

+
+      export PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR=/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/pkgconfig

+  version of the library, if it installed. If not, the application will
+  be built without the JSON interface functionality.
