ZFS & make install with exec=no in /tmp

Hello hackers, 

	I was wondering if there is a work around for this... 

	In 8.0-current I have installed the new version of ZFS and upgraded the 
filing systems to 13. I had a thought that I would make a zfs for /tmp and set 
the exec to no (thinking that nothing should ever be executed in the tmp). All 
seemed to work ok, however, I ran into a problem when I was installing a new 
world. The script immediately bombed out with a permission denied message. 

	I remembered seeing that type of message before when I was testing the no-
exec bit in /tmp before, so I reset it to 'yes' and all is well and installed 
fine.. 

	Is there any way to specify what directory is used for building and executing 
the install scripts? 

Ta,
Peg
