[bug-inetutils] tests/syslogd.sh and /tmp

Hello,

tests/syslogd.sh requires a writable /tmp.  In NixOS chroots (yeah,
again), there’s no /tmp; instead, build systems are expected to use
$TMPDIR.

The problem is that $TMPDIR is a loooong file name, which is an issue
for socket paths.

The workaround I’ve used in Guile is to cd $TMPDIR, create ./my-socket,
and use that.

Would it be acceptable for you?

Thanks,
Ludo’.
