The CHOST: unbound variable error is fixed for me now when building with recent version >=7.0 of makepkg/pacman.

The CHOST: unbound variable error

For this, Remove the CHOST entries from the PKGBUILD and re-run.

The CHOST: unbound variable error might be a bug in makepkg which might be fixed in the next version >6.1.0

I am facing an error when trying to compile the gcc48 package in a clean chroot with aurutils using

aur sync --chroot gcc48

The exact error is the following:

==> Starting build()...
/startdir/PKGBUILD: line 139: CHOST: unbound variable
==> ERROR: Build failed, check /var/lib/aurbuild/x86_64/frazar/build

I also needed to make following changes in the last patch by chn - set CPPFLAGS when it was unset before entering strict mode (makepkg.conf does not set it anymore) - remove compiler flags -fstack-clash-protection and -fcf-protection

See my new patch

Builds fine here with gcc-multilib 6.2.1. Try enabling the LD_PRELOAD lines.

Updated PKGBUILD didn't work for me. Failed on gcc.texi just as mine did. Using the 4.9 PKGBUILD would cause a lot of changes that might break things for users wanting 4.8.
