Heh, yeh, that would do it.  WRKOBJDIR is something you can legitimately 
set, it's where all of the work areas live.

WRKDIR is not something you can set as a user, it is a per-package 
variable pointing to the work area that the package, and that package 
only, uses.

So effectively you were trying to build mktools with digest's (or 
whichever package you were trying to build first) work area and 
settings, and that's not going to end well ;)
