The latest version for CentOS 5.6 is
coreutils-5.97-23.el5_6.4.x86_64.rpm, and doesn't support "--tmpdir"
option too.

CentOS 6.0 will take new coreutils, but We should wait for several days.

Anyway, I think it's better to take "-p" option and then turn to
"--tmpdir" when it failed, or give people a notice at least.

ELDK 4.2 works well to us, and our production is cost-sensitive, so I
think we won't switch to 5.0 in a short time.

Thanks.
