I would think this would break all kinds of software. Most programs
assume /tmp is available to them to put in symlinks and other code
where they are assuming 'cross' application access.

So my question would be.. what are you trying to accomplish exactly?
Security wise, I normally create /tmp and /var/tmp as seperate
partitions and then I make those 'noexec, nosuid, nodev' in /etc/fstab
[that covers soe things worrisome about /tmp... symlink attacks are
not solved but that is the best one can do.]
