I haven't had time to really think enough about this, but I tend to
agree with Joerg.    I think the real problem is that TMPDIR should
essentially never be /var/tmp for building.   It would seem reasonable
to think about forcing TMPDIR=/tmp in the environment in the various
opsys.mk files, essentially fixing bugs in the underlying OS that lead
to compiler intermediaries being in a real fs vs ram fs.
