I was expecting for
makepkg nosuchoption
to fail. And complain. Instead, it succeeds. The package seem to get 
built.
"nosuchoption" is not an --option flag, it is an operand. makepkg
supports e.g.

makepkg CFLAGS+=' -g'

similar to how "make" does. But that won't affect option parsing.
...
The package involved is brscan4, from the AUR. All required files were 
already ownloaded, and in place.
LC_ALL=C makepkg nosuchoption
PKGBUILD looks to me short and rather simple.
