FAIL: test-set-mode-acl-1.sh
FAIL: test-copy-acl-1.sh
FAIL: test-file-has-acl-1.sh

The failures for all of them look alike:
```
[...]

+ test 1 = 0
+ func_tmpdir
+ : /var/tmp
+ tmp=
+ tmp=/var/tmp/gl129694-24727

CCing loong@ although I doubt it's arch specific, just because it's so new.

[Comment 4 WANG Xuerui 2022-10-07 09:00:44 UTC]

Can't reproduce on amd64 nor loong:

amd64:

Both run latest ~loong toolchains.

I'd suspect generally outdated sysroot or weird partitioning (I have my PORTAGE_TMPDIR pointed to /tmp which is a tmpfs created by systemd). Would you have your system fully updated (things changed a lot in September) and re-test to see if anything changed on your side?

[Comment 5 Mike Gilbert 2022-11-24 14:52:37 UTC]

I would guess that /var/tmp has the wrong permissions on the reporter's system.
