Took me a while to figure out what was wrong with the code :)
I spelled WRKDIR by habit (because pkgsrc package build systems uses it
abbreviated and I have read or typed it thousands of times). I have
spelled out WORKDIR.
I recall now the related discussion about abbreviations for X11 components
-- use spelled-out names for new and only use abbreviations for historical
uses.
