Hello,

  I'm also having a problem with the dynamic license except my license is
called gpl.txt in this pkg and so I changed the default COPYING to gpl.txt.
Now when the build stage gets to the dynamic license it looks in
work/build-global but the source has been unpacked in
work/build-isa-sparcv8.  So, I created a sym-link in work/build-global to
link to where the source is just the get the test package created.

As far as I know I'm not redefining WORKSRC.  Maybe I didn't read some GAR
documentation yet or missing something?  However, I've used the dynamic
license before and it worked great.

Thanks, Jake
