Details

Description:
The package contains a bunch of symlinks which are installed to /usr/lib/modules/4.14.11-1-ARCH/build/scripts/dtc/include-prefixes/ , that point to non-existing files. As far as I am able to read the PKGBUILD, the x86 is on purpose the only directory in build/arch to be included in the package. In this case it would be nice to not ship these broken symlinks with the package. But please note that not all symlinks in that directoy are broken (at least on my system, dt-bindings is fine).
