I've changed the config files, now the problem for us in Nix and Guix
will be that the silly maximum unix path length will be hit quiet often...
at least for the Guix build chroot when the chroot is in 
/tmp/guix-build-gnunet-git1.drv-0/

The $GNUNET_TMP then gives you diretories like 
/tmp/guix-build-gnunet-git1.drv-0/gnunet/WAHTEVER-HERE/GOES/NOTHING
where previously they just landed in /tmp iirc.

We should make it possible to set the value of GNUNET_TMP before make check,
for example via the equivalent of export GNUNET_TMP="/tmp"; make check.

It's quiet unfortunate with the length..
