 The user's guide claims
 {{{
     Even better idea: Set the :envvar:`DEFAULT_TMPDIR` :command:`make`
 variable when
     building GHC, and never worry about :envvar:`TMPDIR` again. (see the
 build
     documentation).
 }}}
 But only vestiges of this functionality remain in `mk/config.mk.in` and in
 `nofib`, and it doesn't appear to actually do anything. I suggest removing
 it from the documentation.
