I've seen some funny things with WRKDIRPREFIX too, but I can't reproduce
them. I've mostly seen it on my chroot tinderbox, which always runs with
WRKDIRPREFIX set because the ports tree is mounted read-only. The
tinderbox is currently broken for other reasons.
I tried rebuilding libidn on the host system (outside the tinderbox),
but it didn't break (with and without WRKDIRPREFIX, with portmaster or
"make install"). I guess I need to fix my tinderbox to get further...
