    Bug 27827: pass -tmpdir to the linker in snowflake build
    
    The update to go 1.11.1 fixed part of #27827, namely the
    /tmp/go-buildRANDOMNUM paths embedded in the binary. However there is
    still a single /tmp/go-link-RANDOMNUM/go.o path remaining -- it comes
    from here:
    https://github.com/golang/go/blob/go1.11.1/src/cmd/link/internal/ld/lib.go#L935-L946
    The random path affects the Go build ID even if we overwrite the random
    digits in the binary.
    
    Luckily there's a -tmpdir flag that lets us override the random path.
