What were you trying to do (and why)?

Install llvm.

What happened (include all command output)?

I ran brew install llvm. The output is in install_llvm.log.

What did you expect to happen?

No errors and llvm successfully installed.

Step-by-step reproduction instructions (by running brew commands)

1. Install Fedora 41 Workstation in a VM with 4 GiB of RAM
2. Install Homebrew
3. `brew install llvm`

This happens because the default temporary directory `/tmp` on Fedora, RHEL, and possibly other distros is tmpfs. It's stored in RAM and has strict limits on the number of inodes and size.
