What platform are you using?  What exactly are the symptoms?

This makes it sound like mkstemp is absent, which seems to contradict
your earlier statement.

config.h is supposed to '#define mkstemp rpl_mkstemp', and
'configure' is supposed to replace '@LIBOBJS@' in lib/Makefile.in
with a string containing 'mkstemp.o' in lib/Makefile.  Did this
not happen with you?
