 took a look at the permissions:

 permissions appear to be correct.

 Checking on our x86_64 macOS Sequoia machine, /tmp is still a symlink
 pointing to /private/tmp, as it has been in prior macOS versions as well:

 {{{
 % ls -ld {,/private}/tmp
 drwxrwxrwt  5 root  wheel  160 Mar  7 18:27 /private/tmp
 lrwxr-xr-x@ 1 root  wheel   11 Jan 16 09:35 /tmp -> private/tmp
 }}}

 Since that doesn't appear to be the case for you, I'd start by trying to
 fix that. Does /tmp become a symlink if you restart the computer? If not,
 can you delete /tmp and replace it with a symlink to /private/tmp?

 While your investigation and workaround involving avoiding the creation of
 the temporary files may work here, builds of all kinds will expect to be
 able to create temporary files so you're likely to run into more problems
 soon if the ability to create temporary files isn't restored.

 In MacPorts ports builds, TMPDIR is set to a directory inside the work
 directory. Some parts of some builds may however ignore that and use /tmp
 instead.
