Don't we assume base-devel is installed on a system that builds packages? If we don't, we need to add dependencies for make, gcc, bison, libtool, autotools, etc.

I could not find any package base-devel, or basedevel, but I think it is a good idea.
Some of the PKGBUILD's have makedepends on some of those basic utilities, so the situation appears a little bit confused.

base-devel is a group in core where flex belongs to. This group contains also the other basic tools to build packages.

Ok, I understand now. So before building it is always assumed that base-devel is installed then.
A lot of the PKGBUILDS are confused considering that.
