Comment (by kprussing):
I went ahead and rebooted and was about to blow away /tmp when I noticed a
key distinction:
{{{
% ls -ld /tmp
lrwxr-xr-x@ 1 root wheel 11 Feb 4 11:57 /tmp -> private/tmp
% ls -ld /tmp/
drwxrwxrwt 15 root wheel 480 Mar 7 22:46 /tmp/
}}}
(note the trailing `/` on the second command). So /tmp was indeed a
symlink all along. (classic user relying on tab completion error...)
I 100% agree that altering the build of the port is a bad idea. I was just
trying to hunt down what was going on to cause the problem. Redirecting
stderr felt hacky and "not the right thing". That hack would hide if
something was legitimately wrong ultimately causing bigger problems down
the road.
