Since I'm struggling to get a "make world" in /usr/src to complete without
errors I thought it would be nice to speed up my compiles by building a kernel
with mfs on /tmp. Not a lot happened, then I found P_tmpdir in stdio.h is set
to /var/tmp. Rather defeats the point, I'd say. This is 2.2-CURRENT of Sep 15.
Mind you, it's an incredibly exhilarating feeling watching this poor little
PC sup a new set of fixes down the phone line, rebuild _everything_ from the
sources, install a new kernel and reboot clean as a whistle. Kudos, guys. :-)
Ian.
