For what it's worth, I spent several hours this afternoon moving variable declarations from .h files to .c files, eliminating the duplicate variable issues that broke the build.
While I was at it, I updated the autoconf bits so that the build framework properly detects modern platforms. I've tested this on i686, x86_64, and aarch64 platforms, and all seem to work fine.
I have placed my fork at https://github.com/christopherkobayashi/dieharder, and created a dieharder-git AUR package that will appear shortly.
Perhaps the maintainer of this AUR package would consider switching over from the abandoned codebase to one that compiles?

Your patch seems to fail to apply

i made a patch for my x86_64 box, that u can find there: http://www0.wgboome.org/dieharder-3.31.1.patch.xz
but i dont know (yet) how to fix that PKGBUILD file. but it seems to run fine (at least tests 000 to 016).

Okay, this build system seems to be broken on a modern system. Loads of linker errors about multiply defined symbols. At first I thought it was due to the missing include guards in the header files. But the real problem seems to go much deeper.
Right now I cannot justify to spend more time on it. Hence, I will disown the package for now. I have only used this thing years ago to test a hardware RNG that built as a tinkering project and found it really useful. So I think this is a real shame but also there seems to be no upstream development.
I uploaded an update where I at least fixed the upstream URL.

The download has moved: http://webhome.phy.duke.edu/~rgb/General/dieharder/${pkgname}-${pkgver}.tgz
They use some self-signed certificate for HTTPS which curl fails to verify. But downloading via HTTP is fine with the corrected URL.
I will now have a look into this build issue you mentioned.

I overcame the curl certificate problem but I confirm Fifis's problem with the compilation.

make: *** [Makefile:953: libwulf.time] Error 2 ==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build(). Aborting...
A typical error looks like this:
/usr/bin/ld: .libs/libdieharder_la-dab_bytedistrib.o:(.bss+0x28): multiple definition of
V'; .libs/libdieharder_la-bits.o:(.bss+0x28): first defined here`Finally,
curl: (60) SSL certificate problem: unable to get local issuer certificate
. The Sources section is listing the http, and so is the PKGBUILD. We need HTTPS for that.https://webhome.phy.duke.edu/~rgb/General/dieharder/dieharder-3.31.1.tgz

It looks like it's not compiling anymore :<
