Thanks for looking into this...

Can we unconditionally use tmpnam+open which are more portable? I know
it is racy, but mkstemp is only used in a test case. It is overkill to me to do
the configure check or import gnulib module.
If we use mkstemp in gdb source (not test case) one day in the future, I prefer
importing gnulib module. What do you think?
