Due use of PyInstaller, which is used to build standalone b2-linux binary, chkrootkit can emit warnings such as this:
b2-linux
Searching for Linux.Xor.DDoS ... INFECTED: Possible Malicious Linux.Xor.DDoS installed
when executing b2-linux executable.
Other popular tools using PyInstaller are also affected by this, e.g. https://github.com/docker/compose/issues/4388#issuecomment-275293181 .

TMP_DIRenvironment variable to set an alternative temporary directory https://pyinstaller.org/en/stable/when-things-go-wrong.html?highlight=tmpdir#operation-not-permitted-error .
