Comment (by teor):

 We have two options for a workaround here:
 * try to find the static library without pkg-config
 * check at configure time for the library we want to use, and
 automatically disable zstd if it isn't available (or ask the user to
 disable zstd)

 FreeBSD has disabled *both* zstd and lzma compression due to this bug.
