BINGO! The DISTVERSION=0.4.0-rc2 does the job right - download proper
package (openocd-0.4.0-rc2.tar.gz), extracts it and then build from
right place (${WRKDIR}/openocd-0.4.0-rc2/) - no other variables are
necessary :-) Thank you!

However, in that situation, one must remember not to touch $WRKSRC
unnecessairly as it might to point at wrong directory ;P

Best regards,
