You could make a symbolic link in /tmp to your directory.
eg. ln -s ~/myrunfile /tmp/myrunfile

That way, when you overwrite /tmp/myrunfile you are really
overwritting ~/myrunfile.

A cleaner solution would to get a large account size :).

This is a dangerous practice. If your machine crashes, you may lose
your files because /tmp is the first place to clear.
If you insist on using /tmp, I would advise to name your directory as 
.mydir because this wouldn't be deleted by rm -*.

I assume that the source code normally resides in a protected place and
will not get removed if you crash.  To put the output in your account:

	cc <compile opts> -o ~/<objdir>/<pgm-name>  <pgm_name>.c

The trick here is the "-o" option. I use "cc -O -s -o ~/bin/$PGM  $PGM.c" in
my compiles.

Use the "-o" option as in:

	cc -O -s -o ~/bin/$PGM $PGM.c

which I use for simple C compilations.
