I suppose you mean your newlisp PKGBUILD?
If the 64 bit and 32 bit have separate makefiles then keeping
this in build() should do:

if [ "$CARCH" == "i686" ]; then
 make -f make_whatever
else
 make -f make_else
fi

Also replace $startdir/src and $startdir/pkg with
$srcdir and $pkgdir respectively. While the former
will work for some time, $pkgdir is preferred as of
version makepkg 3.2.0. Manual pages should also
be installed to /usr/share/man  instead of /usr/man.

You should also use namcap (pacman -S namcap)
which points out problems/missing information in
PKGBUILDs.

HTH,
