*maxima-tempdir* has nothing to do with place gcl puts
gazonk files. Gcl compiler has its own way to select
temp dir. Maxima 5.10.0 was compiled with gcl 2.6.7
with patch for gazonk's temp dir with was backported from
2.6.8. Probably this part of code is broken in current
gcl 2.6.8. I'll try to fix problem tomorrow.
