What for? Arch doesn't package static libraries unless there is a good reason to.

Go libraries that use bpf often need to link statically. Not having this has been the source of a lot of frustration for building https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/teleport

Data points:
- Fedora ship the static lib, Debian do not.
- static lib is mentioned in build docs [1]

While there is potentially an argument to make an exception here, it doesn't seem a strong case.
