   Subject: Security patch for binutils-2.11.92.0.10
   Attached please find some simple changes to make creation
   of temporary files more secure. I just noticed it as a
   warning when building binutils. Thanks.


this fix is not correct.  mkstemp() returns a valid file
descriptor.  if you're going to ignore it, you need to
close(2) it...

you should also include a ChangeLog entry with your patch.


thanks!
