Ah, I'm sorry, it's:
~/devel/pkgbuilds/mlocate/trunk/mlocate/
~/devel/pkgbuilds/mlocate/trunk/mlocate/src/
rather than:
~/devel/pkgbuilds/mlocate/trunk/mlocate/
~/devel/pkgbuilds/mlocate/trunk/mlocate/branches/
~/devel/pkgbuilds/mlocate/trunk/mlocate/config
~/devel/pkgbuilds/mlocate/trunk/mlocate/... (other bare repo things)

Oh, you're right, ~/devel/pkgbuilds is a symlink to
~/.local/var/lib/pacman/pkgbuilds. Building mlocate in the "real" path
works (or at least, it errors out a lot later due to a failing test).
I now also notice that this is actually the case for all other packages
in ~/devel/pkgbuilds that clone a git repo.

BUILDDIR works if I give it another directory.
But `BUILDDIR="$(pwd -P)" makepkg` still fails (but to be honest, that's
more me just trying random things I don't really understand, based on
https://lists.archlinux.org/pipermail/pacman-dev/2018-June/022579.html
^^).
But either way, thanks a lot for the support! (also, sorry for sort of
hijacking the thread)
Best,
Tinu
P.S.
To confirm the original assumption: after modifying Makefile.am
accordingly, package() fails here:
...
chgrp locate
"/home/ayekat/.local/var/lib/pacman/pkgbuilds/mlocate/trunk/pkg/mlocate/var/lib/mlocate"
\
&& chmod g=rx,o=
"/home/ayekat/.local/var/lib/pacman/pkgbuilds/mlocate/trunk/pkg/mlocate/var/lib/mlocate"
chgrp: invalid group: ‘locate’
make[2]: *** [Makefile:1455: install-exec-local] Error 1
...
So I second Eli's suggestion to report this upstream as a bug.
