I just tried it on another machine, same issue. My install is 64-bit, if it matters. Building doesn't work in the 32-bit chroot either (just for testing).

1.4.3-2, the latest

Hm, I don't have any errors when trying to build. What version of libcups do you have?

Couldn't build, error about referring to some cups libraries - http://pastebin.com/Um1jhJg0

Do not expect this driver to work in the near future if Canon doesn't release a new version soon. This driver is from 2017 and the GCC environment started deprecating a lot of stuff used by this driver. Please, ask for better Linux support to Canon.
Do not flag this package out of date if there's no new version available. That's bad community behavior. A comment telling about the issue is enough.
If your machine uses the x86_64 arch, the multilib pacman repo will be needed for this driver: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Official_repositories#multilib
For an alternative 100% open source driver although not official by Canon, go to: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/captdriver-git/

Re: driver deprecation - the CUPS creator opened this issue to discuss how to handle old devices: https://github.com/apple/cups/issues/5271
From one of his comments: "Before we drop PPDs, we will be working with developers to create those printer applications (particularly Gutenprint), and will likely end up creating our own printer application (based on the existing ippserver sample code) to support existing PostScript and CUPS raster drivers. So the goal is definitely not to leave people SOL, but rather to plan for a future where we aren't limited by the capabilities of the past."

Now you'll see this warning message: lpadmin: Printer drivers are deprecated and will stop working in a future version of CUPS.
Not sure what this will mean for the future with this driver.
