There is still pacman-static in AUR, we might want to keep support for it :
http://aur.archlinux.org/packages/pacman-static/pacman-static/PKGBUILD

But after a long time of inactivity, I finally just got pkgconfig
added to libarchive :

Though I did not try it to edit pacman-static package to use pkgconfig
instead of libtool.
