For this reason, ld(1) will output a warning message whenever it links code that uses mktemp().

The mkdtemp() and mkstemps() functions are non-standard and should not be used if portability is required.

Hmm, so there is the option between portability and security, grrrrr.

conf'ing for something that only exists in some specific BSD's is not worth the effort (unless it can reliably be added to openbsdcompat). Best wishes, Taco
