bitcoin: depens: bdb build fails on Intel macOS 13.6.6

Current behaviour

Building BDB as part of depends fails with a permission denied error for creating a temporary directory. The directory exists after make fails. Deleting it and running make once more, creates it again and the same error is shown.

Does not happen on my newer Intel macOS 14.4.1 machine.

Expected behaviour

make succeeds

Steps to reproduce

cd depends
make NO_BOOST=1 NO_LIBEVENT=1 NO_QT=1 NO_SQLITE=1 NO_UPNP=1 NO_NATPMP=1 NO_USDT=1

Relevant log output

depends % make NO_BOOST=1 NO_LIBEVENT=1 NO_QT=1 NO_SQLITE=1 NO_UPNP=1 NO_NATPMP=1 NO_USDT=1

It seems to:

mkdir /tmp/test

% TMPDIR=/tmp/test  make NO_BOOST=1 NO_LIBEVENT=1 NO_QT=1 NO_SQLITE=1 NO_UPNP=1 NO_NATPMP=1 NO_USDT=1

It seems to want the temp dir to live on the same volume:

TMPDIR=/Volumes/SSD/temp/test  make ...

^ works
