@AngryUbuntuNerd I figured out what the problem was. My system (uname -r --> 5.5.13-1-MANJARO) has the following default LDFLAGS configured in /etc/makepkg.conf:
LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1,--sort-common,--as-needed,-z,relro,-z,now,-fuse-linker-plugin
Removing those flags gets the package to compile flawlessly. Kind of sad that the default flags fail just like that :(

@AngryUbuntuNerd thank you very much for the answer, I'll look into it

I just tried again with a freshly updated Arch Linux (x86_64) and it works:
checking whether the C compiler works... yes
Either a problem with your PC, or there is a dependency missing. Let me know.

makepkg fails with
checking whether the C compiler works... no
configure: error: in `/home/alberto/build/epson-inkjet-printer-escpr2/src/epson-inkjet-printer-escpr2-1.1.9':

See `config.log' for more details
Is it a problem in the package or in my computer?
Interesting part of the config.log:

Time to update this again. New file path: https://download3.ebz.epson.net/dsc/f/03/00/10/56/54/3d17564471e3ad2343dd4b8925d25cac27eb0437/epson-inkjet-printer-escpr2-1.1.5-1lsb3.2.src.rpm
Looks like a version bump to 1.1.5-1

This hits a 404 when trying to download the package, i updated the url and sha256 to what's below
<https://download3.ebz.epson.net/dsc/f/03/00/10/49/70/d7d30d9326b55356aaeb68ffd02d014623bfb8e4/epson-inkjet-printer-escpr2-1.1.3-1lsb3.2.src.rpm>
32e31d45ab77040230e6334a2cb612680f1b7ede4a404229ab035f33443d957a
I also updated the version to 1.1.3, and ran makepkg
this worked for me... I think that either the src.rpm should be commited to git, or the link gets updated regularly, it seems like it's on a CDN which isn't stable.

With every release I update the keywords (see Package Details above) containing a list of all Epson printer series supported by this driver. Additionally, SUPPORTED-PRINTERS at the GitLab repository gitlab.com/at.gentoo.repo/epson-inkjet-printer-escpr2 also contains a list of supported printers.
Most Epson Inkjet printers are covered by either this package or epson-inkjet-printer-escpr. If your printer is not supported by this package, be sure to check the other one. You may also want to consult the Wiki, specifically CUPS and CUPS/Printer-specific problems#Epson.
Note: all packages from AUR require
base-devel, please read Arch User Repository as a user or PKGBUILD#makedepends for details on PKGBUILD.
