Patches (all in prepare(), patch -Np1)

• 0001-fix-parallel-build-race.patch – top-level Makefile’s textutils target didn’t depend on sharedlib/libvga.so.$(VERSION), so a parallel (-j) build could race utils compilation against the shared lib build and fail intermittently.
• 0002-remove-ldconfig-call-top-makefile.patch / 0003-remove-ldconfig-call-src-makefile.patch – upstream’s install/installsharedlib targets call -ldconfig directly, which is pointless (and can warn/fail) under makepkg’s unprivileged package() – not root, and pacman’s own hooks handle ldconfig on install anyway. Stripped from both Makefile and src/Makefile.

A prior session added these three patches to the PKGBUILD’s source=() but committed only the PKGBUILD change, not the patch files themselves (commit 8f8e679) – package was uninstallable/unbuildable as committed. A later commit (0d33ad1, “forgot to add patches”) fixed it upstream, but this checkout was still pinned to the broken commit until a plain git fetch + fast-forward merge picked up the fix. If this package ever fails to build with “no such file” on a .patch in prepare(), check git log/git fetch in the submodule before re-deriving the patch from scratch – it may already be fixed upstream, just not pulled locally.

Builds clean for both i686 and x86_64 otherwise (main + -debug packages), just the usual namcap noise (unused libm.so.6 link, implicit bash/glibc deps) – not real issues.
