than producing many subdirectories of `tmp`, everything will live in
`/tmp/build`.
My opinion is that the user should set `SAGE_BUILD_TMPDIR=/tmp/build` if
that's what he wants.
> Or `make clean` could not modify SAGE_BUILD_TMPDIR at all, but the Make
manual suggests that `make clean` (and `make distclean`) should "Also
delete files in other directories if they are created by this makefile."
I think it does make sense if `make clean` would always clean
`$SAGE_ROOT/spkg/build` and not `SAGE_BUILD_TMPDIR`.
Anyway: I don't want to fight over this. I'm happy with whatever the
outcome. The last thing I want is that this ticket gets abandoned.
