@dbermond It's true that I used an AUR helper, but if it isn't supported then I will try building manually as you said. Thank you for clarifying!
About the building process taking 8 hours, it seemed like the AUR helper didn't use all of the CPU threads, and therefore the process was so slow due to it using only one thread (the CPU usage barely went higher than 20%). I think that was the issue, I will also try passing the -j12 argument to make commands and see if it helps speeding up the process.

@LordSIGSEGV avoid creating files not tracked by pacman in the system reserved directories, specially symlinks to shared libraries, as this have the potential to completely break your system. I have already notified the quirc maintainer in the aur web page of the package in April-2024. While this issue is not solved in quirc, I recommend to use quirc-git, which currently has a better packaging and does not suffer from this problem.
