Re: lynx-dev LYUtils and mktemp, and string2.h warnings (glibc 2.2)

[Duncan Simpson]

The messages are a GNU ld feature (all fairly recent versions, at least those 
after circ glibc 2.0, aka linux lubc 6). Aklternative linkers may not generate 
the messages, which are a good thing. Using mkstemp is probably a better fix 
and considerably less effort (if you must use mktemp, use open(2) with both 
O_CREAT and O_EXCL set in the flags, and be prepared to handle it failing).

Using a non public tempiorary directory also fixes the problem but takes 
either expanding environent variables or ~ (or both). Naturally this must be 
done with proper bounds checking.
