For an architecture independent package, is it sufficient to build the
 package once,
 rename it appropriately and upload?
No, because there is arch = i686/x86_64 in .PKGINFO
...
Or should it be built on both 32 and 64 bit?
No. :-)
 For example, you have i686 system:
 i686: makepkg (but do not use -c option)
 x86_64: CARCH=x86_64 makepkg -R

Thanks!
 I noticed a few packages in community which are architecture-independent
 but the versions are different in 32 and 64 bit; so I could just
 download the existing
 package, modify the .PKGINFO and repackage it for 64bit w/o compiling, right?
Seems so, thanks for doing that. ;-)
