                                                             ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Do not use this.  Despite its proliferation in Fedora, it is not
portable.  It is also completely unnecessary in the above example
(since %{_tmppath} is already user- and build-specific) or in any
properly-written build tool.
