"Pretty sure"?

As already pointed out, the Arch package does use the source from
upstream. It is not patched.

The only changes are:

  sed -i 's|#!/usr/bin/python|#!/usr/bin/python2|' src/binheader_writef_check.py \
    src/create_symbols_file.py programs/test-sndfile-metadata-set.py
  sed -i 's|python|&2|' src/Makefile.am

And it's configured with:

  ./configure --prefix=/usr --disable-sqlite

See:

https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/tree/trunk/PKGBUILD?h=packages/libsndfile

The default flags - not necessarily used by the package maintainer -
are:

#########################################################################
# ARCHITECTURE, COMPILE FLAGS
#########################################################################
#
CARCH="@CARCH@"
CHOST="@CHOST@"

#-- Compiler and Linker Flags
# -march (or -mcpu) builds exclusively for an architecture
# -mtune optimizes for an architecture, but builds for whole processor family
CPPFLAGS="-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2"
CFLAGS="@CARCHFLAGS@ -mtune=generic -O2 -pipe -fstack-protector-strong"
CXXFLAGS="@CARCHFLAGS@ -mtune=generic -O2 -pipe -fstack-protector-strong"
LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1,--sort-common,--as-needed,-z,relro"
#-- Make Flags: change this for DistCC/SMP systems
#MAKEFLAGS="-j2"
