>Description:
patch-ae in sysutils/gentoo replaces tmpnam with mkdtemp. NetBSD's man-page of 
mkdtemp warns:

     The mkdtemp() function is nonstandard and should not be used
     if portability is required.

I think "portability" is a given for pkgsrc.
>How-To-Repeat:
Compile under a OS that does not provide mkdtemp().
>Fix:
This should probably get fixed upstream and decided by configure. The function 
seems important enough to be added to other OSes:
