Nitpick: Normally these lines are sorted newest to oldest, with the
current maintainer(s) at the top.

You should have !debug !strip here, otherwise makepkg can attempt (and
will fail) to gather source files, creating an empty
/usr/src/debug/$pkgbase.

Might also be worth considering !buildflags (to turn off injection of
CFLAGS etc) and !makeflags (to turn off injection of MAKEFLAGS).

I think you can have this export at the top level instead of in each
function.

An invocation of make that could also use ${MAKE} for consistency.

Should we be using this script upstream as well instead of our
homegrown mess of install commands?
