Alright. Fair enough. I'll try some other methods. Can you use this PKGBUILD to compile Unreal 4.27? Does it return the same error? Since you mentioned it is also not accessible for you either, I would guess that it does not but I wanted to make sure there isn't something I was missing here.
Also, to add onto that: Epic has Tim the asshat Sweeney, he does not care about Linux.

I updated it to not use the Arch Clang compiler by default; I thought I had this opt-out but I didn't - the reason being that for UE4, there's actually a hard-coded reference to look for a Windows compiler (thanks Epic...) and using the Arch compiler has been the solution on the AUR for UE4 for a long time
That said, if it fails to compile by default now (at least if strictly using
makepkg
), the fault is entirely on Epic for not properly having the Unreal Build Tool (UBT) not handle the Linux build properly - proper support for this was implemented in UE5, so they should honestly backport that to UE4's codebaseI left a user toggle-able switch in the PKGBUILD if anyone wants to try the Arch Clang compiler patch again, for whatever reason
If anyone manages to figure out how to this otherwise, let me know and I'll add the fix
