Description:

Since refind only offcially support x86 and arm (https://sourceforge.net/p/refind/code/ci/master/tree/BUILDING.txt#l18).

Accroding to the manual of PKGBUILD: Packages that contain no architecture specific files should use arch=('any').

But refind cannot be build without patch in arch like loongarch and riscv64. Maybe it would be better to change the field to `arch=('x86_64' 'i386' 'arm' 'aarch64')`?
This task depends upon

Arch repos (currently) officially support *only* x86_64. The Wiki [1] clearly states only AUR pkgs are allowed "to additionally support other known working architectures". Therefore what you are suggesting simply cannot be done. But changing it to solely "x86_64" might be warranted (subject to how the PM interprets the criteria for "any").

So perhaps it would be more appropriate to use "x86_64" instead, as rEFInd is indeed *not architecture-independent* in build. (like grub: https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/grub/-/blob/main/PKGBUILD?ref_type=heads#L27).
