Interesting case on pentium4 (ARch32), pacman-static runs, but I get
pacman-static -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/coreutils-9.4-3.0-pentium4.pkg.tar.zst
loading packages...
error: GPGME error: Invalid crypto engine
error: GPGME error: Invalid crypto engine
error: '/var/cache/pacman/pkg/coreutils-9.4-3.0-pentium4.pkg.tar.zst': invalid or corrupted package (PGP signature)
Post scriptum: this discussion we had in disguise: "..you just have to set the proper enviroment variables.." (my original saying). Having fallen into my own trap now I think it's better to make sure that pacman-static calls static/self-contained versions of gpg for instance or that we have a static pacman-key per default.

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