I prefer using devtools here instead of duplicating tools. This is only a test suite and packages need to be built only once. This way we also make sure we get the same packages as a packager would get. Also your approach would need gcc-multilib to be able to build 32bit packages. -- Pierre Schmitz, https://users.archlinux.de/~pierre
