I noticed a strange behaviour while using WRKOBJDIRs in the packages
tree : 

The shell considers that work.{$arch} is a symlink to a file, rather than
to a directory. Hence, misc errors, like ../../patches/patche-nn being not
found from build dir under certain conditions, name completion failing or
FTP clients not being able to CWD to work.{$arch}

The following patches fixes that (a missing / at the end of the target of
the symlink) in do-extract target :
