I have just retried the compile, and everything is fine! My mistake, FreeBSD extracts the original package every time you do a make and the changes I made to the #if statement got clobbered.
Sorry for the confusion.

I think the analysis for the cause of the problem is simple enough: Due to some "bad press" wrt. use of the good old mktemp() function, the mkstemp() function was (far too uncritically we know learn) substitiuted. Bad move, since they are not the same. mkstemp() also *opens* the file in question. The analysis for the best solution remain. But: Since the filename returned by mktemp() is not used in an open(), but rather in a rename(), I think much of the problems with mktemp() does not apply. Certainly, on a machine where you do not allow possibly "aggressive" users, I'm quite sure mktemp() is quite all right. Anyway: I am still pretty sure that getting rid of mkstemp() should cure the problem. Are you sure everything was compiled/linked/installed?
