You can fix this by one of these:
- get your system administrator to provide you with a working /tmp if
  possible,
- set TMPDIR to a usable value ($HOME/tmp comes to mind, after you have
  created that directory),
- use a non-ancient Autoconf to regenerate the configure script (the
  respective macro has long been changed to use a file conftest.val in
  the top build directory).
