Description:

nothing currently tells users about the changes to the default install. that they need to install the base-devel group before building packages.

or to put its another way: all pkgbuilds are currently missing "base-devel" in makedepends.

Steps to reproduce:
1. clean install
2. follow the install guide, makepkg man page, abs wiki page
3. run makepkg
4. read errors for missing build tools

previous discussion on pacman-dev:

attached is an install guide patch.
