[SOLVED] configure: error: cannot run C compiled programs

Question

I'm trying to build lib32-libxkbcommon 0.5.0-1 from AUR with makepkg. I already tried installing pacman (setting the default makepkg.conf) and multilib-devel with no luck.
makepkg messages:

If you meant to cross compile, use `--host'.

In that case you should probably check that no other packages are missing files with
pacman -Qkk 2>&1 | grep "No such file or directory"
Any packages that report that they're missing files, you should reinstall.
