I'd say all of the above probably need fixed for this. I have had a
brief look at makepkg support. It is a bit weird as the arch variable
is handled differently to all others but I think I can fix it. It is on
my list of things to do.
Can you please file bug reports and assign to me for allowing different
pkgver/pkgrel and arch lines so I do not loose track of them.

That would be fairly easy to implement although the actual package
stages should be really fast compared to the build one. Please file a
bug report.
