Subject: [PATCH] Give a path name to mktemp in Makefile.local
Date: Sat, 17 Dec 2011 10:36:25 -0500

On some systems (incl. OS X 10.6), mktemp expects an argument giving it
the place to put the new temporary file.
---

On my machine without this patch, make prints a message from mktemp
about expecting an argument each time it is run.  At some point, make
got into a situation where it would print this message and exit cleanly,
but not build any changed files.  A "make clean" was necessary to kick
it into working again.

A disadvantage of this approach is that it drops an empty file into /tmp
on every make run.  It would be better to only create this file when
doing "make debian-snapshot", but I am not sure how to do that (cleanly;
my best idea is to put the build commands into a subshell and export an
environment variable for the temp file).  Any make/debian experts want
to take a stab?
