quick todo. simple way

sudo extra-x86-64-build or sudo extra-i686-build

does the clean chroots in /var/tmp and it does two things
1) if chroot doesn't exists it will create and start compiling
2) if chroot exists, clean the chroot and start compilation.

the schemas for chroots are like this:
/path/to/chroot/root - the clean one
/path/to/chroot/$usr - the one that is used for compilation and gets clean

now, if you want to modify mirrorlist from chroot take in consideration 
that is taken from system /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist first mirror.

now depending of what you want to modify in makepkg.conf some variables 
can be read and exported inside chroot from ~/.makepkg.conf like 
MAKEFLAGS, PACKAGER.

for pacman.conf you should edit /path/to/chroot/root/etc/pacman.conf

to use makechrootpkg use makechrootpkg -rc /path/to/chroot without 
specify anything else and  mkarchroot wants a /path/to/chroot/root as 
parameter
