I try to build qemu-aarch64-static, but all I get are errors;

You probably need to set PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR

Setting PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR did not solve this issue
5.2.0 same result as above
I tried to compile this using - among others - the next command:
./configure --prefix=$(cd ../..; pwd)/qemu-user-static --s
tatic --disable-system --enable-linux-use
and various other commands. The errors remain the same.
I really need a static variant of qemu-aarch64 (and others), but can't compile it.
I would suggest as a configure command:
/path/to/configure --target-list=aarch64-linux-user --static --disable-tools
You can add a --prefix= if you want; this just sets where
'make install' will put the binary. If you really want to build
all the linux-user targets and not just aarch64, you can use
--disable-system instead of the --target-list=... option.
The errors you're getting are I think basically "the first
time configure tried to compile and link a program, it failed".
So something is probably wrong with your compile environment
for static binaries.
configure should have written a config.log file in the build
directory -- have a look at the tail end of that to see
what failed (if nothing seems obvious, put it on the web
somewhere and give us a link to it). Note that config.log
will contain a lot of expected failures (where configure is
testing for something and will happily cope with that something
not being present) as well as the one which caused it to
bail out.

Following your pointers, I noticed that it was all about missing
static libraries/header files. The error messages where not helpful
at all. config.log provided some pointers.
