you should add gnulib, it would seem (as a makedepends?).  At least
gnulib-tool isn't on my system. 

makedepends=('git' 'autoconf' 'gnulib')

Also, installing local is kind of non-default (IMO). . . 

$ pacman -Ql org-merge-driver 
  org-merge-driver /usr/
  org-merge-driver /usr/local/
  org-merge-driver /usr/local/bin/
  org-merge-driver /usr/local/bin/org-merge-driver
  org-merge-driver /usr/local/share/
  org-merge-driver /usr/local/share/doc/
  org-merge-driver /usr/local/share/doc/org-merge-driver/
  org-merge-driver /usr/local/share/doc/org-merge-driver/README

Thus, conditional on my taste I'd build like:

  ## Build
  msg "Building..."
  cd $_gitname
  gnulib-tool --add-import
  autoreconf -i
  ./configure --prefix=/usr ## added prefix
  make

It's also encouraged to use -git in the name, but I don't always
follow it. . .

I have a couple of local org `addons' that I never managed to push to
the AUR, but I encourage you to push the merge drive.

BTW: I would have never seen that I can use this for my hg had you not
published the package here!
