- The c compiler uses /tmp to store temporary files, that's what's happening
- to your root file system. You can change this behavior is you add the option
- -temp=/usr/tmp or some other temp directory that it can have free run of to
- the same place where -pipe is... Which leads me to a confusion, I thought
- -pipe would prevent /tmp from growing, although I've never used that option,
- apparently it doesn't...
