I agree here that we want to get /tmp by default, but in real life we
lost these local modifications anyway. None of the pkgsrc packages ships
with this and upstream GCC knows better.. so I keep trying to find a
creative way to get it done right.

Patching every libiberty copy is almost not doable (we don't patch any
user of it in pkgsrc).

If I will fail to convince GCC to add a way to tune this tmpdir, we will
live with these libiberty patches in src.

If GCC will be unconvinced, I don't plan to remove this local modification.

Good idea. I will try to reuse _PATH_TMP and submit upstream.
