[SOLVED]Building in a Clean Chroot error: Build failed, check ~/build

Question

Hello everyone
I am trying to build qt4 and qtwebkit in clean chroot but when I run makechrootpkg (according to DeveloperWiki:Building in a Clean Chroot) I get an error message:
$ sudo makechrootpkg -c -r /home/zuargo/chroot/
==> Creating clean working copy...done
==> ERROR: Build failed, check /home/zuargo/chroot/zuargo/build
As you see chroot directory is contained in my home folder.
I have checked /home/zuargo/chroot/zuargo/build and I see just the PKGBUILD and another random file (it depends on the package to build). No useful information.
I have made twice the chroot directory and in both times I get the same error.
Does somebody have any idea on how to solve this trouble or how to get information related to the error?
Thanks in advance

Thank you
I have new information.
Searching for information on the forum (this one) I have found this thread: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1260353
The user that started the topic, had (or have) a very similar issue. At the first post, he says has fixed the problem by downgrading the package devtools to the version 20120720. So then, I did the same thing.
I had installed devtools 20130408 and in the cache of Pacman, I have the version 20130127, 20130122, 20121115, 20121027, 20121013, 20120720 of this package. I have downgraded to all these versions of devtools, one by one. In some cases, after downgrading and by creating the chroot directory I got errors, either with the package systemd or with the package filesystem. In the first case, the error did not affect the creation fo the chroot directory. In the second case (with filesystem), creating the directory was not successful, getting an error message (see below).
I proceed to list each devtool package (its version) and the error I have got, when I tried to create the chroot directory:

As see, the only one package that allows me to build into chroot directory with no errors is devtools-20120720.
Now I can build packages into a clean chroot directory. But I can't update devtools.
