insecure file in /tmp after m4 build

hello there. while building m4 on gentoo, we discovered that one of the configure tests (tests/mkconfig.sh) creates /tmp/env, which is a dump of the environment of the user doing the build.

was this used for testing and left in by accident?

see http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15673 for more info.

please let me know the purpose of this file.

thanks
