According to hier(7):

/tmp    temporary files, usually a mfs(8) memory-based filesystem (the
	contents of /tmp are usually NOT preserved across a system re-
	boot)

/var/tmp	temporary files that are kept between system reboots

This seems to imply to me that our gcc should put temp files in /tmp
rather than /var/tmp by default, if only to be consistent with
our hier(7).

Should I send-pr this or is this deliberate ?  I can't believe
that /var/tmp/cc01620a.i and /var/tmp/cc01620a.s want to
be kept across reboots :-)
