For the record, it was another /bin/sh issue, fixed by 2365338.
Closing the bug now. :-)

Looking at configure.ac, this is used to #define XKM_OUTPUT_DIR, which
ddxLoad.c describes like this:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
/*
* If XKM_OUTPUT_DIR specifies a path without a leading slash, it is
* relative to the top-level XKB configuration directory.
* Making the server write to a subdirectory of that directory
* requires some work in the general case (install procedure
* has to create links to /var or somesuch on many machines),
* so we just compile into /usr/tmp for now.
*/
#ifndef XKM_OUTPUT_DIR
#define XKM_OUTPUT_DIR "compiled/"
#endif
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
I interpret it as /tmp being a good value.
At the same time, I wonder if the X server normally calls xkbcomp at
run time.
Thanks,
Ludo’.
