[Gm2] gm2 uses /var/tmp?

[john o goyo]

This may be more of a gcc thing than a gm2 thing but I recently noted  
that building and testing gm2 (on Solaris 10/sparc) dumps a *lot* of  
files into /var/tmp without removing them afterwards.  In fact, over  
the past year, over 130000 files were left there.  Can anyone shed any  
light on this?
