Its use is not recommended.' but if our platform does not provide the deprecated function - how would we handle this? Would a change to this file be considered? To add macros around it so it doesn't fail? I understand this is all hypothetical but I want to know if I'm going in the right direction. What exactly is the problem you need to solve? Can you not compile choose-temp.c because it uses mktemp? Or do you just get warnings? The choose_temp_base() function defined in that file is only used by libiberty/pex-msdos.c which should not be needed for NonStop, so there should be no reference to mktemp in the final gcc executables.
