Seems the following code is missing some double quotes on line 167 in Makefile.in.

@echo It looks like git submodules are not initialized. Run: git submodule update --init --recursive

This line in Makefile.in is fine. It shows the message, as it's supposed to:

Packing man page znc-buildmod.1.gz...
It looks like git submodules are not initialized. Run: git submodule update --init --recursive

If you would use git directly, it's the message for you, it explains what user needs to do in order to update git submodules. (Running it automatically may harm, or even simply not enough permissions, depending on circumstances)

But you're installing not directly from git, but via https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/znc-git/ , so it's https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/znc-git/ 's job to update git submodules.
So archlinux package for znc-git needs to be fixed.
