I am using the maemo Operating System and the GCC compiler. I have an error when I compile an application: there is no enough space on /tmp. I have 10% of my space free so I don't understand why this happens.. anyway, is it possible to change the GCC configuration in order to use another folder (in another partition)?

Set your TMPDIR environment variable to where you want GCC to put your temporary files. Or, use the -pipe flag to keep temporary files (except object files) in memory.
