I discovered a workaround that even allows using symbolic links. You can us=
e=20
WRKDIR_BASENAME as in the following example:

cd pkgsrc/pkgtools/digest
bmake clean
rm -fr "$HOME"/work
mkdir "$HOME"/work
ln -s "$HOME"/work work
WRKDIR_BASENAME=3Dwork/here
export WRKDIR_BASENAME
bmake install

I implemented this in my sepbuild package [1], which otherwise wouldn't wor=
k=20
with pkgsrc-current anymore.
