[PATCH] sanity: Check for setgid/setuid TMPDIR

[Richard Purdie]

Building in a TMPDIR which has setgid or setuid is a bad idea. We could try and reset
the permissions but since these can also invade into other directories like the cache
or sstate, lets tell the user to fix it instead.

Minor typo, s/setgid directory/setuid directory/.
