No, it looks like Maxima’s build system erroneously strips out part of
the directory name. In that case, passing TMPDIR=/tmp seems right.

Pushed with some tweaks: I’ve added a copyright line for you (let me
know if it’s wrong), replaced tabs with spaces (if you use Emacs, the
.dir-locals.el normally ensures that), and moved parts of the commit log
above to comments in the source (info "(standards) Change Log
Concepts").
Thank you!
