@eschwartz I noted the behavior was as intended with pacman downloading only the specified package, while pacman-static was downloading all the dependencies; but perhaps it was because I already had the dependencies on the other system. I have managed to work around this, in any case, using a chroot to an archlinux rootfs in the target non-archlinux system.
I must say, I love pacman-static. Thank you for contributing and maintaining this.

There's now a custom repo and binaries again. Though only for x86_64 currently.
