you recompiled GIPAW, didn't you? and verified that gipaw.x is older
than PW/startup.o, didn't you?

that's true. Unfortunately GIPAW also uses a different input variable
name ("tmp_dir" instead of "outdir"). The fix is however trivial:
in GIPAW/gipaw_module.f90, replace line
    tmp_dir = './scratch/'
with
    CALL get_env( 'ESPRESSO_TMPDIR', tmp_dir )
    IF ( TRIM( tmp_dir ) == ' ' ) tmp_dir = './scratch/'
