Compile employs a sandbox mechanism to avoid programs to place or
change files outside their /Programs/<Program>/<Version> directory. We
have an older sandbox, called "FiboSandbox" and a newer one, called
"UnionSandbox". While the latter is more powerful, it still was not
used as much as FiboSandbox, so some problems may arise (as you have
noticed :). So, we kept FiboSandbox there for such cases (which is
activated if the system kernel has no unionfs support, or if the
NO_UNIONFS is set).

This variable is specific for Compile. So, there is no need to set it
during execution of the compiled program.

No. Our idea is to fix UnionSandbox, making it compatible with all
recipes. Most recent recipes were already tested with UnionSandbox,
so, thanks for reporting a case on which UnionSandbox should be
enhanced :)
