All in all, the following PKGBUILD seems to build successfully:

Although installation fails:

Modifying only the build() and not bumping the version seems to install perfectly. Probably 1.11 has some missing manpages, which causes errors, so the out-of-date flag is kinda invalid?

Even though on the latest version, compiling with gcc 15 from Manjaro Testing, one would face incompatible-pointer-types error, as in the following issue: https://github.com/bruceg/daemontools-encore/issues/69

Fix is provided in the ticket, a workaround could be replacing make with make CFLAGS="$CFLAGS -std=gnu17"

Could be bumped to 1.11. The latest commit mistakenly mentions 1.10, but in reality the latest version is 1.11, probably even the latest version bump in 2018 could have included that

For the sig_pause problem a "hotfix" is provided in https://github.com/bruceg/daemontools-encore/issues/68. Tested, seems to work, both removing the ifdef and adding -D_GNU_SOURCE. Maybe the latter can be easily added to the already existing patch file.
