This link suggests that /var/empty is a part of most Linux systems too, albeit not defined in the FHS.

The Arch Linux filesystem package also includes /var/empty so it seems to be "supported".

heir(7) in my Arch box notes:
Code:
       /var/tmp
              Like /tmp, this directory holds temporary files stored for an unspecified
              duration.
Perhaps this would be suitable?

EDIT: ha! Necrobump! Sorry...
