I used cmake and bash-completions for this built, as they are utilized upstream but not
absolutely necessary.
July 21st 2022 Arch decides to rebuild adding gettext and other build utilities to pacman, unnecesseraly for those who don't build from source within their main installation
The contradiction here is that Arch always advises to build pkgs from source in a separate clean minimal chroot or container or docker, meanwhile they keep adding building tools to pacman because of the makepkg inclusion. I believe a split of makepkg as a separate pkg is best, within the pacman pkgbase
