I'd rather not do that. Surely there's a less-intrusive way to fix this problem on nonstandard platforms like that. You can use your own <sys/stat.h> replacement, for example. > For that matter, why are mkstemp and mkdtemp not sharing tempname.c? Historical reasons, I expect.

I'd rather keep tempname.c in sync with glibc if possible. A <sys/stat.h> replacement ought to do that.
