It seems that these lines are the culprit:

----- gcc/gnu/gcc-2.81/choose-temp.c excerpt starts. -----
static char *
try (dir, base)
     char *dir, *base;
{
  if (base != 0)
    return base;
  if (dir != 0
      && access (dir, R_OK | W_OK | X_OK) == 0)
    return dir;
  return 0;
}

...

char *
choose_temp_base ()
{
  char *base = 0;

...

  base = try (getenv ("TMPDIR"), base);
  base = try (getenv ("TMP"), base);
  base = try (getenv ("TEMP"), base);

----- gcc/gnu/gcc-2.81/choose-temp.c excerpt ends. -----

In particular the line calling access().

Is there any better way than adding:

"  char tmp_str[MAX_LEN];

  strcpy(tmp_str, base);
  strcat(tmp_str, "/");"

to try()?
