>Subject: Compiler temp files in /var/tmp?!?

Gcc prefers to use the following directories for temp files, in the
following order:

	$TMPDIR (if set)
	$TMP (if set)
	$TEMPDIR (if set)
	P_tmpdir = "/var/tmp" (see tmpnam(3))
	"/usr/tmp"
	"/tmp"

so it does the wrong thing by default because P_tmpdir is not very tmp.
