You should usually import a clean source to avoid adding compiler-generated files to the repository. Arch tries to ensure some discipline on what files are kept in the working directory (but this can be modified to be a simple warning, not an error).
You can ignore them by changing the "unrecognized" regexp in the {arch}/=tagged-method file and it or by adding .arch-inventory files in those directories.

FWIIW, I did start with clean source. Those directories are in the u-boot tree and contain a readme.txt file that states "This file is just to ensure that the directory is created."
I'll have to use your .arch-inventory tip to avoid the problem for my purposes, but this isn't going to work for someone that cares about MAI bios emulators :-/.
Thanks, gvb
