Thanks for more background about it.

I don't know how it is for you but i need fakeroot only for makepkg ... which
is not a wonder.-) So i do the only what i can and test how it will works if
i append your suggested value at the begin of /usr/bin/makepkg:

+ LD_PRELOAD="/usr/lib/libfakeroot/libfakeroot.so"
  myver='3.1.1'

After this very little change i run makepkg and now i have no error messages
about LD_PRELOAD.

Strange that it makes a difference because the PKGBUILD from abs have a line
with "make -f admin/Makefile.common dist" too.

Annotation: Do you know the informations from [1]? Some times ago this doesn't
works for me but on sunday i give it a second try and now it works.

Perhaps you should make a feature request that makepkg includes the
informations what be needed from libfakeroot.

See you, Attila
