This > thing can't possibly require more than 11 meg of tmp space, can it? Yes it can: at link time, a big set of libraries and object files are scanned in several passes, which can create multiple temporary files, to store the table of needed symbols, and the table of resolved symbols, as well as managing code segments reordering (so that code segments from multiple modules are grouped before all data segments coming from these modules). Because effective addresses can't be solved before the whole set of linked modules is known (which requires searching for module dependencies, while maintaining a table of known symbols in modules from a library that could be selected later, are further required by another library), a linked program has several separate parts stored in temporary files that grow independently, and are merged only at end once the list of modules is complete. Then these temporary files are rewound and read again to get the segment contents, and update relative references in a final executable file. If your /tmp directory is still in your / directory, you ought to move it elsewhere (because / is critical for your system to boot, and permanently writing to it is not a good idea), into another volume, or if you want to keep the / boot directory with temporary space, you should alter your user profiles to set TMPDIR to /usr/tmp. As I can see, /usr (and /home) has enough space. I think that you already have a /usr/tmp directory in your /usr partition, and that there's also a symbolic link to /usr/tmp from /var/tmp.
