bug#6657: mkstemp on cygwin creates binary files

I recently got by private email a report that "sed -i" changed the line endings of the file to bare linefeeds on cygwin. The reason for this is that mkstemp on cygwin hardcodes the flags to O_EXCL|O_BINARY:

I fixed it by using instead mkostemp(template, 0). From a quick "git grep", it seems like sort and tac are affected by the bug in coreutils.

Thanks!

Paolo
