 We are currently using /tmp as the default temporary directory, however it
 seems to be quite common that this directory is mounted on a small tmpfs
 partition, which makes the build fail because of lack of disk space.

 To avoid this, we should instead use a tmp directory inside the `tor-
 browser-build` directory by default.
