 What is difference between

% make WRKDIRPREFIX='' extract

and

% make extract WRKDIRPREFIX=''

? It is not clear from man make :) I'm using first form typically, not
variable-before-make (which is environment).

% make extract WRKDIRPREFIX=''
make[1]: don't know how to make
/usr/home/lev/FreeBSD/ports/devel/subversion/work/.extract_done.subversion._usr_local.
Stop

Stop.

 And this works! But still it is mystery, what changed that prevent old
variant to work. And error message is VERY surprising! It constructs
file name properly, but don't know how to make it!
