+# The current build directory. In global scope, it is supposed to
+# contain an initial build directory; if unset, it defaults to ${S}.
+#
+# When running in multi-impl mode, the BUILD_DIR variable is set
+# by python-r1.eclass. Otherwise, it is set by distutils-r1.eclass
+# for consistency.

+# ${WORKDIR}/foo-1.3-python3_12
