This presents plenty of problems on OSes besides Linux, and even on Linux when the libtool file for libarchive isn't present. The static build isn't all that useful anyway as missing something such as glibc will still leave you unable to run the pacman.static binary. Remove it from the formal build process.
I didn't realize that is was not very static. But is this not useful for people who want to try and upgrade their really old systems? I suppose if they can't get pacman going in the first place then they will be reasonably screwed with the rest of the upgrade.
