I didn't set TMPDIR.  Should I do that?

Checkout out and compiled at the day I submitted the bug report.

Ha!  I found them in the code for the guix-daemon.  Unrelated to this
bugreport, but don't you think we should rename these to GUIX_*
equivalent environment variables?

No, but I have made some modifications to the code to make it run
completely in userspace.  The code should effectively disable chrooting
(unfortunately).

I attached a patch displaying the differences between the version I used
and commit 85f0945.

I'm using commit 85f09459162d12e7ce7874995ae2837164ed17ee (with the
modifications in my patch).

It seems the problem arises when building gcc-final.  I attached the
complete output of both commands.  Because the output for gcc-final is
rather large, I compressed it.

Thanks for your time!

Kind regards,
