Me too (5th...)
The idea that /tmp is smaller than /var/tmp (or has less available space)
is based upon historic RAM sizes, my /tmp currently has about 10 times
as much available space as /var/tmp (when empty, the difference is more like
3:1 but /var/tmp (well, /var) has other stuff occupying space) - I run the
latter out from time to time, but never run out of /tmp space.
For current use, anything which is truly temporary shouid be in /tmp,
whatever the gcc upstream believe, their temporary files are just not
important enough to warrant keeping, and their ideas of available space
on modern systems are absurd.
