Ah, so the warning is that something in $pkgdir refers to the value of
$srcdir?

How does makepkg determine this?

"play" is a part of my $srcdir, but

  magnus at bryma 2520 ~/play/arch/ocaml-odn/pkg/usr/lib/ocaml/site-lib/odn
  % grep play *
  magnus at bryma 2521 ~/play/arch/ocaml-odn/pkg/usr/lib/ocaml/site-lib/odn
  % strings *|grep play
  magnus at bryma 2521 ~/play/arch/ocaml-odn/pkg/usr/lib/ocaml/site-lib/odn

Several, but the one here is ocaml-odn on AUR.
