In pacman-git commit d8717a6a9666ec80c8645d190d6f9c7ab73084ac makepkg started checking that the setuid/setgid bit could be removed on the $BUILDDIR in order to prevent this propagating to the packages themselves. Unfortunately, this requires the temporary builddir used during the --verifysource stage of makepkg, to be owned by $makepkg_user which was not the case as it is created as root using mktemp (and given world rwx in addition to the restricted deletion bit.) Obviously makepkg cannot chmod a directory that it does not own. Fix this by making $makepkg_user the owner of that directory, as should have been the case all along. (Giving world rwx is illogical on general principle. The fact that this is a workaround for makepkg demanding these directories be writable even when they are not going to be used for the makepkg options in question, is not justification for being careless.)
