Hi,
It is possible to use yay but I haven't build successfully fakeroot. You can try it also.

I will update it after successful build.

Now, I managed to build fakeroot-tcp in manjaro proot.
To install yay it requires fakeroot.

Build fakeroot-tcp

1. Edit manjaro.sh file and add --sysvipc

nano manjaro.sh

2. Proot into manjaro

./manjaro.sh

Build and install fakeroot-tcp

1. Install required packages

sudo pacman -S base-devel git

2. Git clone fakeroot-tcp package

git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/fakeroot-tcp.git

3. Change directory to fakeroot-tcp

cd fakeroot-tcp

4. Remove prepare() from PKGBUILD

sed -ir '/prepare()/,+6d' PKGBUILD

5. Now build it

makepkg -irs

Build yay

sudo pacman -Sy git base-devel -y
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/yay.git
cd yay
makepkg -si
