Maybe we should start advocating to use extra-$arch-build for building AUR packages, since that contains base-devel :-). This is probably also what Debian does I guess or does every package implictly depend on 'build-essential'.
+1 for using devtools and extra-x86_64-build for AUR packages too. I have been doing that for a while now, and it does catch a lot of issues.

I also agree on that. Building in a clean chroot has multiple advantages: * Mostly equal builds for everybody (until they are reproducible) * Less errors, as only, but all makedepends must be installed in the chroot * Less trashed archlinux installations because of makedependency installation * Devtools is even simpler to handle if you ask me
I also do not understand why AUR helpers dont use devtools. It would give much better package quality.
Mine does... </shameless_plug> https://github.com/AladW/aurutils/blob/master/bin/aurbuild_chroot
Maybe we should advice to use devtools more in the wiki page. Most people dont even know that is a single command to type.
Pro tip: Include other AUR pkg deps like this: extra-x86_64-build -- -I aurdep.pkg.tar.xz
