Using 'sudo' in a test? Not on my machine, I don't care how secure it should be, it is totally unnecessary, not to mention the annoyance of password prompts, needing the chroot setups, etc. Instead, use makepkg directly along with some very vanilla makepkg.conf config files to do the work. This makes for a more reproducable environment as far as makepkg settings goes.
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
