I just tried this for myself.  I was able to build 3.6.3.20200326-1
locally, but renaming that to 4.0.0~20200326-1 caused the build to
fail as below.  Any ideas?

you should 'make docs' now ...
make[2]: Entering directory '/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/doc'
creating doc/NEWS
creating doc/NEWS.pdf
Error in texi2dvi(file = file, pdf = TRUE, clean = clean, quiet = quiet,  :
  unable to run pdflatex on 'NEWS.tex'
LaTeX errors:
! Package pdftex.def Error: File `Rlogo.pdf' not found: using draft setting.
