Details

Since makepkg 5.0.1, PKGBUILDs with only architecture-dependent sources are considered invalid (https://projects.archlinux.org/pacman.git/commit/?id=3cb1669e07106e9108976a76b7d2f37e659bce6c).

E.g.:

source=()
source_i686=('https://sources.archlinux.org/other/pacman/sha1sums')
source_x86_64=('https://sources.archlinux.org/other/pacman/sha1sums')
md5sums=()
md5sums_i686=('SKIP')
md5sums_x86_64=('SKIP')

..will work, but:

source_i686=('https://sources.archlinux.org/other/pacman/sha1sums')
source_x86_64=('https://sources.archlinux.org/other/pacman/sha1sums')
md5sums_i686=('SKIP')
md5sums_x86_64=('SKIP')

..produces:

/usr/share/makepkg/util/util.sh: line 49: declare: md5sums: not found
==> ERROR: md5sums_i686 should be an array
/usr/share/makepkg/util/util.sh: line 49: declare: source: not found
==> ERROR: source_i686 should be an array
/usr/share/makepkg/util/util.sh: line 49: declare: md5sums: not found
==> ERROR: md5sums_x86_64 should be an array
/usr/share/makepkg/util/util.sh: line 49: d
