[SOLVED] Unable to build package Intel-OpenCL-SDK from the AUR

Question

Good morning,
I am having some issues in regards to building a package from the AUR: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/intel-opencl-sdk/
If I understand correctly this is a 64 bit package, so I made sure that my processor has the LM flag. Also I have checked which kernel I am running:
>$ uname -m
x86_64
When I start building the package it comes up with an error saying:
==> ERROR: intel-opencl-sdk is not available for the 'i686' architecture.
Note that many packages may need a line added to their PKGBUILD
such as arch=('i686').
So I went in to the PKGBUILD and changed the line x86_64 to i686. This seemed to started the build, but it does stop working rather soon, giving me the following error:
==> Tidying install...
-> Purging unwanted files...
-> Compressing man and info pages...
-> Stripping unneeded symbols from binaries and libraries...
strip:./opt/intel/opencl-sdk/libOclCpuBackEnd.so: File format not recognized
/usr/bin/fakeroot: line 181: 846 User defined signal 1 FAKEROOTKEY=$FAKEROOTKEY LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$PATHS" LD_PRELOAD="$LIB" "$@"
So I do not know where it is going wrong, although it also sounds that my install of Arch might be a bit dodgy as he does not want to build the package with the x86_64 setting ...
Could somebody shed some light on this matter?

So is it possible to update the dependencies to 64bit and then build this package?
When I change /etc/pacman.conf to take x86_64 architecture packages:
Architecture = x86_64
And I change the flags of /etc/makepkg.conf to x86_64:
CARCH="x86_64"
CHOST="x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu"
CFLAGS="-march=x86-64 -mtune=generic -O2 -pipe -fstack-protector --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2"
CXXFLAGS="-march=x86-64 -mtune=generic -O2 -pipe -fstack-protector --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2"
Then when I do pacman -S llvm then it will say:
error: failed to prepare transaction (package architecture is not valid)
:: package llvm-3.2-5-i686 does not have a valid architecture
However I did put everything to x86_64, so where does he get the i686 from?
