GCC in general should put all its build stuff in WRKDIR and only
stash really temporary things (coming from an individual invocation
of GCC such as assembly files if any) in /tmp for short periods of
time.

I am not aware of anything we could do beyond what I already have
in the port, but then this is the first time I hear about this, in
the context of FreeBSD and also upstream.

Are you saying you actually noticed some leftovers in /tmp, or that
there "just" has been more at certain points in time than you would
expect?
