[WORKAROUND] makechrootpkg not forwarding -D to makepkg

So I have the following issue:

[build@der-geraet ~]$ ls
mfgtools  networkmanager-fortisslvpn  pdfchain  repo  rustrover  setserial  teams  teams-for-linux
[build@der-geraet ~]$ makechrootpkg -cr /var/build -- --dir teams-for-linux 
==> ERROR: This must be run in a directory containing a PKGBUILD.
[build@der-geraet ~]$ makechrootpkg -cr /var/build -- -D teams-for-linux 
==> ERROR: This must be run in a directory containing a PKGBUILD.
[build@der-geraet ~]$ cd teams-for-linux/
[build@der-geraet teams-for-linux]$ makechrootpkg -cr /var/build 
==> Synchronizing chroot copy [/var/build/root] -> [build]...done
==> Making package: teams-for-linux 1.4.37-1 (Tue May 28 10:52:37 2024)
==> Retrieving sources...
  -> Found teams-for-linux-1.4.37.tar.gz
  -> Found teams-for-linux.desktop
==> Validating source files with sha256sums...
    teams-for-linux-1.4.37.tar.gz ... Passed
    teams-for-linux.desktop ... Passed
^C^C==> ERROR: Aborting...
[build@der-geraet teams-for-linux]$ ^C

Why is makechrootpkg not forwarding the directory to makepkg?

Run this script in a directory containing a PKGBUILD to build a package inside a clean chroot

Seems to be intentional and makepkg also expects to be called from a directory where PKGBUILD (or buildscript) is present .

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

Well, that's a bummer.
I worked around this with a script that does a cd before invoking makechrootpkg for now.
