: invalid option -- '2'
: invalid option -- '4'

Why are "2" and "4" added to my command arguments?

Check your makepkg.conf, I'm guessing the MAKEFLAGS are wrong.

Thank your reply.

my MAKEFLAGS in /etc/makepkg.conf is:

MAKEFLAGS="$(nproc)"

It seems a little strange.

How do I reset or reinstall for default makepkg?

Many thanks your.

I solved this problem after I modify it.

But there is a very strange place, I don't know which program modified it after upgrading with yay.
