Answer 1

for AUR based builds add the following command to the PKGBUILD (end of prepare section) to have proper config.guess automatically applied/overrided in the package:

cp /usr/share/automake-`pacman -Q --info automake|grep -i version| awk -F ":" '{print $2}'| awk '{$1=$1};1'| awk -F "." '{print $1"."$2}'`/config.guess .
