Hi
The official PKGBUILDs in core, extra, community often don't contain "arch" variable. Of course they can't be build with simple makepkg (missing arch error). I have read Arch Packaging Standards and find no mention about a situation where omiting "arch" variable is legal.
Am I missing something or these official PKGBUILDS just broken?
Here is list of such packages:

These are old packages that haven't been updated since we started to use the arch field. Some of them are already fixed in svn.
