Yes, I'm using ABS tree but not packages. What ABS tree should I use 
then? I obviously was trying to recompile everything using makeworld 
script but I got a --mtune gcc error that I need to solve just before 
compiling world again.
A thing I think I should add to makepkg/pacman is a way to handle world 
tools in the BSD userland. I mean, there are a lot of programs that are 
part of BSD world that pacman and its utilities should count with in 
order to not overlap them.
About the getopt handling, I'll wait for Xavier since I don't have time 
to learn getopt magic :)

Error over here is more like "don't know how to make pacman.8"

Making all in doc
make: don't know how to make pacman.8. Stop
*** Error code 1

Stop in /repos/work/pacman.
*** Error code 1
