Ok, as far as I can see 'mktemp' isn't even in Posix, so we cannot take
that as a guideline as to what usage is ok or not.  Reading the
man-page, your change looks completely ok, so there is no reason why we
should not apply it.

Can you please send a formal git patch together with your signed-off-by?
Thanks.

Excellent, thanks for the report.

As far as I read the posix spec, uname -m should output i686:

Maybe the FreeBSD uname needs to be fixed?

I'm pretty sure it does ;)
