Urm, first and foremost, makepkg filters out static libraries since a
couple of years.
I'm not sure about the context of the error, though, and why it looks
in /usr/local, which is strange. Maybe you need to run make
differently with make PREFIX=/usr?
How far the ssl implementation/s provided with arch can be used for
the code in question is the other thing you have to look into in order
to make this work.

cheers!
