Currently you cannot have makechrootpkg ignore architecture, which is useful for example when building archlinuxarm packages. I hoped the following would work

makechrootpkg -- -A

But it fails on the first makepkg invocation, when downloading the sources.

==> ERROR: icon-slicer is not available for the 'armv7h' architecture.
Note that many packages may need a line added to their PKGBUILD
such as arch=('armv7h').
==> ERROR: Could not download sources.

I wonder if it would be better to add a -A option to makechrootpkg or just pass -A also to the download source makepkg invocation, if specified after --.
This task depends upon

Reason for closing:  Won't implement
Additional comments about closing:  Reason for request: I noticed that arch linux arm has their own devtools packages and worked this around in a patch. That's probably good enough.
