But I can see some obviously questionable things in the systemd
instructions:

- Why do we need a xsltproc symlink?  The build system should disable
building man pages when xsltproc is not available.
- The instruction seems installing "/usr/lib32/systemd/*" which are
completely meaningless.  We only want libudev.so* and libsystemd.so*.
- 'CFLAGS+=" -Wno-error=shift-overflow"' seems covering up a real bug,
instead of covering up it you should really fix the bug and preferably
send the fix upstream.
- Why "-march=i686" for lib32?  We don't add it for all other packages.

And maybe more.  The items above are just found in a quick one-minute
review.

Thus IMO it's broken.  If it happens to work for you, it just happens.
