>      When the daemon performs a build on behalf of the user, it creates a
>   build directory under ‘/tmp’ or under the directory specified by its
>   ‘TMPDIR’ environment variable; this directory is shared with the
>   container for the duration of the build.  Be aware that using a
>   directory other than ‘/tmp’ can affect build results—for example, with a
>   longer directory name, a build process that uses Unix-domain sockets
>   might hit the name length limitation for ‘sun_path’, which it would
>   otherwise not hit.

>      The build directory is automatically deleted upon completion, unless
>   the build failed and the client specified ‘--keep-failed’ (*note
>   ‘--keep-failed’: Invoking guix build.).
