Nope, WRKDIR gets deleted on do-extract, never assume WRKDIR or WRKSRC
exists before post-extract.

The complied objects do not have to exist, and if they do not necessarily
in /usr/obj/usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/binutils.

Also be careful with WRKDIR, bsd.port.mk uses it for its own purposes.
Use WRKSRC or a subdirectory of WRKDIR whenever possible.
