It is not related to this issue but I don't think this should be empty.
'realpath pacman' does not appear to work here, I was able to fix this
with the following diff:

Adding '-x' to the interpreter line in /usr/bin/makepkg shows that
pacman is implicitly required for makepkg to function, so you'll need to
install pacman-package-manager as well. However, even with it installed,
the build will fail because you will be unable to perform the dependency
checking (since pacman won't be managing the packages).

I think the traditional solution for this situation (building a
distribution's package on a distribution other than the one the package
is being built for) is using an OPTS variable to allow the user to pass
in the dependency checking skip flag (that's what I do for RPM builds on
Arch Linux), so perhaps MAKEPKGOPTS so that you can use MAKEPKGOPTS=-d?
With this diff and that variable value, the build starts within makepkg
for me.

diff --git a/scripts/Makefile.package b/scripts/Makefile.package
