I think Crooksey may have gotten it backwards, possibly by accident or misunderstanding--bash has moved into /usr/bin, not the other way around. I've encountered two Arch machines that haven't been updated in quite some time that had exactly this issue, one updated before December of last year and one that hasn't been updated in a long, long time:
# pacman -Qs bash
local/bash 4.2.024-2 (base)
The GNU Bourne Again shell
# pacman -Ql bash
bash /bin/
bash /bin/bash
bash /bin/bashbug
bash /bin/sh
*snip*
But in both cases, updating the system and/or bash fixes the issue. The problem then is that makepkg is obviously looking for the bash interpreter at /usr/bin/bash (where it should be, probably a recent change itself) and older versions of the bash package installed it to /bin/bash. This likely occurs when updating pacman separately from the rest of the system and then using makepkg to install something else (and failing or forgetting to update the system completely before continuing on your merry way). I believe this was changed in r175821 from the SVN repo:
r175821 | allan | 2013-01-22 00:47:57 -0700 (Tue, 22 Jan 2013) | 3 lines
upgpkg: bash 4.2.042-2
install to /usr/bin and symlink as needed in /bin - will help with future /bin removal
specifically this PKGBUILD change to bring bash up to the current standard of installing into /usr/bin where everything else is:
./configure --prefix=/usr --with-curses --enable-readline \
- --without-bash-malloc --with-installed-readline \
- --bindir=/bin --mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info
+ --without-bash-malloc --with-installed-readline
make
