>Description:

	`env TMPDIR=/tmp/lose ./build.sh ...' doesn't make GCC (and
	maybe other tools too) use /tmp/lose for its temporary
	directories; instead it stupidly uses /var/tmp, which is for
	temporary storage that is supposed to persist across a reboot.

>How-To-Repeat:

	Mount a synchronous ffs on /var so that it is reliable but
	slow.  Mount tmpfs on /tmp so that it is transient but fast.
	Run build.sh and observe that the C compiler dumps the
	ccXYZ123PQR.s files in /var/tmp instead of /tmp by default.
	Run `env TMPDIR=/tmp/lose ./build.sh ...' and observe that the
	C compiler *still* dumps crap in /var/tmp.  Throw up your hands
	in frustration and break /var/tmp by mounting a tmpfs there so
	that builds will finish in reasonable amounts of time.

>Fix:

	Yes, please!
