This patch does not disable synctex by default. This patch makes zathura not
fail to build if libsynctex is not available. You need to build zathura against
libsynctex to have synctex support.
As stated in the README file:
Requirements
------------
...
libsynctex from TeXLive (optional, for SyncTeX support)
So please ask the Arch Linux maintainer to build it against libsynctex.
(We shipped a copy of libsynctex before. But now Arch Linux has a new enough
texlive that is able to build a libsynctex, so we dropped it.)
