Summary and Info:

I'm porting Arch Linux to other CPU. So, there is only limited binary packages ready.

I found there are makedepend/depend loop on these packages:
gobject-introspection
gdk-pixbuf2
librsvg
cairo

I think the solution for build these packages is providing some PKGBUILD.<n> file in the same directory.

Like
gobject-introspection/PKGBUILD # for normal build script with all arch linux binary package support
gobject-introspection/PKGBUILD.1 # disable the dependency of cairo & --disable-doctool

So I could 'makepkg -p PKGBUILD.1' then build a gobject-introspection package.
I found most such loop caused by 'document', if PKGBUILD developers keep their build experience on such files will simplified try-and-error process.

And more one day we could setup a build script to build all packages automatically.
