I’ve been working on my own fork of luakit, building and installing it to
test changes, and I’ve come across some weirdness in the PKGBUILD. The
original luakit-git PKGBUILD[1] has a set of options to pass to make to
(for
example) enable luajit.
I rewrote it to conform with pacman/makepkg 4.1 vcs standards[2], and for
some reason, if I use an auxiliary variable to store these options, the
packaging fails. Can anyone shed some light on why this might be so?

Because $pkgdir only exists in the package() function. Using it
earlier won't work.
OK…
So why does the $_makeopts variable work in build() but not in package(),
even if I drop $pkgdir from it? It should either work for both or fail for
both if there’s no reference to $pkgdir, shouldn’t it?
Missing variables are replaced with nothing instead of immediately
causing an error, and DESTDIR is not used during build.
Aha. Fixed it.
