I added a '-t' option in my source tree to allow a savvy dlltool user to
specify the prefix for the above TMP_* defines above:

dlltool -t '/tmp/foo' ...

Of course, this isn't a solution since Makefiles can't rely on the fact
that the current tools are available, I guess.

I also tried creating individual temporary directories for each dlltool
invocation.  That was really slow.

Eventually, I just decided on adding:

.NOTPARALLEL:

to the Makefile.in.
