Hmm, since it's not possible to compile individual packages
with make jobs>1 reliably, building packages in parallel is the only way
to make use of multiple processors on build systems for e.g.bulk
builds.

With WRKDIR_LOCKTYPE=3Donce, this is not possible. Building multiple
packages simultaneously with WRKDIR_LOCKTYPE=3Donce is completely
useless for unattended builds, and painful even for interactive
builds.

What needs to be done is to make WRKDIR_LOCKTYPE=3Dsleep work reliably,
obviously - rather then splitting the variables to cover up for
the brokeness.

Why the re-locking doesn't re-create WRKDIR as needed?
