Not being able to install a package using your package manager is one of the valid reasons for building them from source (#q320046: it mentions Ubuntu in the title, but the same reasoning aplies on other OS).

For a description of the general workflow when building packages from source, you could refer to #q252478.

If you really need to build much more from source (because rosdep tells you fi it cannot find the dependencies of the packages in ros_controllers in your package manager), then you would probably have to resort to rosinstall_generator. Before doing that though you may want to contact whoever is maintaining the Arch repositories, as ros_control is a pretty common dependency and I would expect it to be available.
