On the contrary - trying to figure out what happened in the build
is a perfectly good reason for wanting an easy way to get to the

is needed. Shell completion doesn't work too well when there is no
symbolic link.
Count me in the no-wrkdir-symlink camp.
I find that an alias like the following is as good as shell completion:
alias cdobj='pushd `make show-var VARNAME=WRKSRC`'
The only time I miss the wrkdir-symlink is when moving new patches
from mkpatches into place.
