[pacman-dev] [PATCH] build: link vercmp staticly with libalpm

[Dave Reisner]

This makes the meson-built vercmp equivalent to the autotools build.

Employ an intermediate archive of libalpm which our generic library rule
can slurp in. Other alpm-only binaries (specifically we care about
vercmp) can then link this in for alpm functionality without caring
exactly where the function is defined. meson passes the right flags to
ensure that unused data is stripped out of the executable.
