# The `file` command is added here because an enormous number of
# packages have a vendored dependency upon `file` in their
# `./configure` script, due to libtool<=2.4.6, or due to
# libtool>=2.4.7 in which the package author decided to set FILECMD
# when running libtoolize. In fact, file-5.4.6 *depends on itself*
# and tries to invoke `file` from its own ./configure script.

We handle quoting in a very lax way in nixpkgs, but I think at least in places like setup.sh we should do it properly.

You mean if $TMPDIR contains spaces, I presume? I guess that is possible.

I am generally pretty paranoid about shell quoting issues which is why I used multiple -execdir lines instead of a single -execdir bash ....
