I cannot reproduce this. When uninstalling libarchive, the following happens
Checking for boost library >= 1.56                   : ok 
Checking for program 'pkg-config'                    : /usr/bin/pkg-config

The configuration failed


There is a check at https://github.com/Ardour/ardour/blob/3bda6020b949e0ebc/wscript#L1156

What happens when you run `pkg-config --debug libarchive` ? Maybe you have a lingering .pc file somewhere in $HOME or /usr/local?

Ah, interesting! You are right:

$ pkg-config --debug libarchive
no output option set, defaulting to --exists
Error printing disabled by default due to use of output options --exists, --atleast/exact/max-version, --list-all or no output option at all. Value of --print-errors: 0
Error printing disabled
