[PATCH 1/3] Fix the mktemp() warning, in debug builds only.

[Daniel Shahaf <danielsh@xxxxxxxxxx>]

On Linux, linking to mktemp() generates the following warning:
.
    utils.o: In function `gettempname':
    ./Src/utils.c:2229: warning: the use of `mktemp' is dangerous, better use `mkstemp' or `mkdtemp'

The warning cannot be disabled.

Work around that by using mkstemp() instead, and massage its output so
it behaves like mktemp().  See the new comment for further details.
---
The purpose of this patch is to eliminate the spurious warning from the
edit-compile-test cycle.

Cheers,

Daniel
