>From the wiki:

Note:
    The package base-devel is assumed to be already installed when
    building with makepkg. Dependencies of this package should not be
    included in makedepends array.

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/PKGBUILD

Theoretically this shouldn't even be needed in the makedepends array.
I added it so if users are not aware that makepkg is used under the hood
these basic dependencies are met.
So the linked PKGBUILD assumes that all of this is already installed.

But I can see why you dislike it and will provide a more accurate list
of dependencies.

Thank you very much for the analysis and fix!

Ack, thanks!
