Details

Description:
makepkg.conf includes an LDFLAGS line that breaks compilation of anything at all through makepkg.
The line was previously commented, but it uncommented in the new file provided in the newer package.

The error given is:
checking for C compiler default output file name...
configure: error: in `/home/square/abs/irssi/src/irssi-0.8.14':
configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
See `config.log' for more details.
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.
==> ERROR: Build Failed.
Aborting...

And again, this happens with *any* package to be built, and after commenting the LDFLAGS line once more, everything builds properly.

Additional info:
* pacman 3.3.1-1
* makepkg.conf
* broken line: LDFLAGS="-Wl, --hash-style=gnu -Wl, --as-needed"


Steps to reproduce:
Attempt to build a package with the makepkg.conf.pacnew provided from upgrading to the pacman version.
This task depends upon

What is the output of config.log at the point where it doesn't work?
I've compiled a whole GNOME 2.28 repository with these flags and haven't seen any problems with them.

My apologies, I should have attached that previously.

You should remove the spaces from the LDFLAGS after "-Wl,". It's -Wl,--as-needed, not "-Wl,<space>--as-needed"

makepkg.conf from pacman-3.3.1-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz have the correct LDFLAGS:

LDFLAGS="-Wl,--hash-style=gnu -Wl,--as-needed"

(without spaces as Jan said)
