Wouldn't it better to do it in WRKDIR? As to avoid any
possible conflicts with WRKSRC? Also, as a rule of the thumb WRKDIR
is not guaranteed to not be noexec although it is highly advisable
to. However, I agree, ports should be limitted to WRKDIR.
For instance,
$ sh ./configure # works on a noexec FS
though, I'm not sure if libtool would work (I am not aware of
internal workings) but this is too much rambling. :)
What do you think about WRKDIR?
