please add --with-topology to the configure. Topology is an important and new feature coming in PostGis 2.0

Note that as of the upstream's r7781, the following line in the PKGBUILD is no longer necessary and must be removed:

sed 's:$(PGSQL_BINDIR):$(DESTDIR)/$(PGSQL_BINDIR):g' -i ${srcdir}/trunk-build/raster/scripts/python/Makefile.in

postgis (with raster support) does not compile on arch anymore. The configure script hardcodes "python" as the python executable. This is python 3 on Arch, and GDAL installs its python bindings into the python 2 installation. In essense, postgis looks for gdal python bindings in python 3 instead of python2.

I modified this PKGBUILD to make the ./configure pay attention to the python environment variable. Then it sets PYTHON=python2 on the "configure" and "make" command lines. This is a hack, but it seems to work. The real solution will come when the upstream allows you to specify the python executable.
