S="${WORKDIR}" in global scope then. |

The fallback causes problems when there's a default src_install. Having |
| 13 |
a default src_install means an ebuild with a dodgy tarball but no |
| 14 |
functions is likely to make it all the way through past the install; |
| 15 |
previously it would die on the custom-written src_install. |

Note that the wording is such that this will only matter for ebuilds |
| 18 |
that install things. Blank ebuilds that install nothing will still work. |
