I have to say I don't think we support having TMPDIR on NFS, particularly because of cases like this where NFS does not behave in the same way as a standard filesystem. Aside from our own code, we'd have to take care of any subtle issues in the build systems of every piece of upstream software being built, and that's a bit too much to support. However, if you or someone else can figure out how to fix this specific problem in a reasonable manner and send a patch, it would probably be accepted; but AFAIK we still recommend not using NFS for this.
