I think we need to add xorg-server as makedepends. During the configure step, it checks for the existence of the X binary (which won't exist if you're building in a clean chroot).

Here's the ./configure output for both cases:

- With current (2.2-2) PKGBUILD:

[...]
checking for X... no
[...]
Graphics drivers: FB
[...]

- With xorg-server added as makedepends:

[...]
checking for X... libraries , headers
[...]
Graphics drivers: FB X
[...]
