Were you both using identical hardware? CPUs? Compiler flags? This may seem like an obvious line of questioning, but I've found that it always isn't.
Anyway, assuming that pacbuid is using a chroot for all the builds, it should work independently of the currently running kernel and for that matter, the currently running system. That said, what if a makefile tries to use the current kernel version (uname -r) for something? Does pacbuild have facilities for dealing with this sort of problem?
Pacbuild can't directly deal with this problem. Strictly speaking, it wasn't a very good idea when it was thought of, so pacbuild doesn't try to fix it. Instead, you just tell the person who wrote the package to fix it ;) Jason
