I rebuilt directfb with --enable-static, and the .a files appeared. I'm now going to rebuild everything else that ldd /sbin/splashy gives me - libpng, zlib, glibc, glib2, and freetype2 - with enable-static, which will hopefully give me all the necessary .a files, so I can build it without hacking.
Obviously, all this rebuilding of core packages does not do much for splashy's prospects on Arch, but now that I've started, I'd like to get it running anyway.
