For me it works, thanks!

After installation the current git of harfbuzz, I get

  $ pkg-config --libs harfbuzz
  -L/usr/local/lib -lharfbuzz

  $ pkg-config --libs --static harfbuzz
  -L/usr/local/lib -lharfbuzz -lglib-2.0 \
    -pthread -lpcre -pthread -lfreetype -lz -lbz2 -lpng12 -lz -lm

  $ pkg-config --libs --static freetype2
  -L/usr/local/lib -lfreetype -lz -lbz2 -lpng12 -lz -lm \
    -lharfbuzz -lglib-2.0 -pthread -lpcre -pthread 

This is a self-compiled version of pkg-config's current git.

Note, however, that my openSuSE 13.2's pkg-config version 0.28-7.1.2
works, too.
