Check the wording of the warning "The TMPDIR should match the this regexp"
should probably be "The TMPDIR should match this regexp" or maybe use a simpler
version like "The TMPDIR name should must be an absolute path and contain only letters,
digits and the characters -_"

Also, is "-" actually valid?  I seem to recall having problems when my build
tree had the hyphen ("-") in the path.
