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?
