Problem with pkgbuild of blitz

Question

Hi,
  I get the following error when I try to compile blitz from aur.
                                           ==> ERROR: blitz is not available for the '' architecture.
    Note that many packages may need a line added to their ./PKGBUILD
    such as arch=('').
Error: Makepkg was unable to build blitz package.
The arch variable seems to be set in the pkgbuild file. I dont know what seems to be the problem!

This package is orphaned and does not compile.  Even the source-url is wrong.
if /bin/sh ../libtool --mode=compile --tag=CXX g++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I.. -I.. -MT globals.lo -MD -MP -MF ".deps/globals.Tpo" -c -o globals.lo `test -f '../src/globals.cpp' || echo './'`../src/globals.cpp; \
then mv -f ".deps/globals.Tpo" ".deps/globals.Plo"; else rm -f ".deps/globals.Tpo"; exit 1; fi
g++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I.. -I.. -MT globals.lo -MD -MP -MF .deps/globals.Tpo -c ../src/globals.cpp -o globals.o

Last upstream update was 2005. I think this PKGBUILD should be removed.
