Same issue here. This is due to the -Werror=format-security setting in the /etc/makepkg.conf, which prevents gcc from building. Usually it's a good idea to activate that option, but gcc mentions in the documentation, that it can lead to problems building that. There are two possible workarounds for that:

1. Temporarily remove -Werror=format-security from the CXXFLAGS in /etc/makepkg.conf
2. Add CXXFLAGS="$CXXFLAGS -Wno-format-security" to the build() step in the PKGBUILD file right after accordant CPPFLAGS line.

Has anyone successfully build this package?

All I get is this error:
