You're missing the libraries to compile the package. To install them:

sudo pacman -S binutils make gcc pkg-config fakeroot

or, to install basic tools for compiling code:

sudo pacman -S base-devel

Also instead of installing and compiling yay (which also requires you to install all the GO libraries) why not installing the precompiled yay-bin? It's the same package.

git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/yay-bin.git
cd yay-bin
makepkg -si
