For reasons of filesystem integrity, you should not use /usr or /
directories for your /tmp directory.  Likewise, /usr/src or
/usr/local/src should be installed or linked from another partition.
If you must use /usr/tmp instead of the more appropriate /var/tmp,
just remove the reference to /tmp in your / partition and replace it
with a link to the target directory, either /var/tmp (appropriate) or
/usr/tmp (not recommended).
