I could build 4.8 succesfully (on x86_64) by commenting out the line "touch spkg/installed/ppl-0.11.2" in the PKGBUILD. I really hope someone can keep maintaining this in [community], it is a pain to build (took more than 3 hours and almost all free disk space here) and the binaries from www.sagemath.org are incompatible with Arch (the Fedora one gives a missing _md5 module, and the Ubuntu one simply segfaults).
