paramater for pacman

Is possible know the flags of the configure script from a package?

I have found the parameters reading the pkgbuilds, but it is possible to do it with pacman?

if isn´t possible, it would be a good option

you can use a combination of abs and grep...

# !/bin/sh

abs && grep "./configure" /var/abs/*/${1}/PKGBUILD

or something to that effect

No, there is no way to do this from within pacman short of including the PKGBUILD in the package.  I don't think that's such a great idea because it means we'd have to recompile packages a lot more often...

Is it really that bad checking abs?
