Trouble with AUR git packages inside a lxc container

For some very strange reason, if a PKGBUILD contains for example:

source=('gdb::git+https://sourceware.org/git/binutils-gdb.git')

(Notice the gdb:: part) makepkg fails on the git checkout like this:

Cloning into bare repository '/home/sources/gdb'...
error: RPC failed; HTTP 408 curl 22 The requested URL returned error: 408
fatal: expected 'packfile'
==> ERROR: Failure while downloading gdb git repo
    Aborting...

If I remove the gdb:: part I can checkout, no problem.
Checking it out manually like this:

git clone https://sourceware.org/git/binutils-gdb.git gdb

Also works, no problem.
This does not fail on Arch Linux when running it on bare metal, it only happens in my lxc container (host is running Ubuntu 23.04)

Help?

Re: Trouble with AUR git packages inside a lxc container

This is probably not a AUR issue, but either a lxc and/or pacman/makepkg issue. It just happens that I've got this problem with a PKGBUILD from AUR. Any PKGBUILD that uses the "folder::git+<url>" exposes this.
I've just tried now with the default makepkg.conf and the same thing happens. The only change I've got are SRCDEST and BUILDDIR.

What are the curl & git versions used in the container ?

Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.

clean chroot building not flexible enough ?
Try clean chroot manager by graysky
