I finally found my error, by deleting every alias and environment

to /tmp anyway, according to "man ar" which is why I'm a bit confused
why it caused a problem.

I can't remember why I had bothered to define TMPDIR in the first
place, but there must have been some other build at some other time
that needed it to be defined.

Thanks for all of your help. I suppose that adding a check to make
sure that no one else commits this particular act of stupidity might
be a good idea, but it's impossible to guess at all of the potential
things that could go wrong.--Rob

I can put "unset TMPDIR" in the spkg-install file for singular. I'm
really glad you tracked this down precisely!
