When this happens, could you try:
% umount /tmp
and try again?
There's a bug where tmpfs won't allow even the owner to rewrite an existing
file. If you do "gcc -c *.c", gcc (correctly) just keeps using the same
temp files, which we won't let him rewrite.
It's one of those little things I never manage to nail. If you're
interested feel free to hunt it down (in srv/tmpfs/open.c, probably) and
provide a patch.
