We’re already allowing `/tmp` anyway, so this should be harmless, and it fixes a regression in the default configuration caused by moving the build directories out of `temp-dir`. (For instance, that broke the Lix `guessOrInventPath.sockets` test.) Note that removing `/tmp` breaks quite a few builds, so although it may be a good idea in general it would require work on the Nixpkgs side.
