Actually, this one has hidden errors.  I can't remember the specifics, but
at one point PKGBUILD was sourced and then a return code was checked.  If
the build function had an error in it but there were md5sums at the end of
the PKGBUILD it could cause things to break later.  Andy ran into it when
doing x86_64 building a lot time ago.
