make install fails as it tries to write in /tmp

[Thibaut Appel]

Dear OpenSSL users,

I uncovered a potential issue affecting the installation of OpenSSL from 
source, in the case the user is not allowed to write in the /tmp folder.

I'm trying to install on a cluster where permissions to '/tmp' is 
restricted.

Is there an environment variable designed to tell 'make install' to NOT 
use /tmp?

My $TMP environment variable points to a different folder. The result of:

./config 
--prefix=/rds/general/user/home/.linuxbrew/Cellar/openssl at 1.1/1.1.1h
make && make install

install libcrypto.a -> 
/rds/general/user/home/.linuxbrew/Cellar/openssl at 1.1/1.1.1h/lib/libcrypto.a
install libssl.a -> 
/rds/general/user/home/.linuxbrew/Cellar/openssl at 1.1/1.1.1h/lib/libssl.a
link 
/rds/general/user/home/.linuxbrew/Cellar/openssl at 1.1/1.1.1h/lib/libcrypto.so 
-> 
/rds/general/user/home/.linuxbrew/Cellar/openssl at 1.1/1.1.1h/lib/libcrypto.so.1.1
install libcrypto.so -> 
/rds/general/user/home/.linuxbrew/Cellar/openssl at 1.1/1.1.1h/lib/libcrypto.so
install libcrypto.so.1.1 -> 
/rds/general/user/home/.linuxbrew/Cellar/openssl at 1.1/1.1.1h/lib/libcrypto.so
*mkdir: cannot create directory '/tmp/ar.12361': Permission denied*
make: *** [install_dev] Error 1

Is there something I'm missing? How can this be circumvented?

Thanks,

Thibaut
