Comment:

 It seems the `File::Temp->newdir()` function that we use in `dmg2mar` will
 use the directory from the `TMPDIR` environment variable if it exists. So
 defining `TMPDIR` to the `tmp_dir` value from the rbm config before
 running the `dmg2mar` should fix the issue.

 I added a patch doing that to branch `bug_24514`:

 build.git/commit/?h=bug_24514&id=c4db919cd945f421f36ec1c358bce15ecc192590
