client/gx11.c:6526: the use of tmpnam' is dangerous, better use mkstemp'

man tmpnam on debian unstable gives:
BUGS
       Never use this function. Use tmpfile(3) instead.

Any 'supported platforms' that lacks tmpfile?
We really should get rid of these kind of warnings, if we aim for 1.0.
To really make clean code, one can try to compile on MipsPro compiler on a
sgi system with -fullwarn. 
Somewhere I read that nobody ever uses fullwarn, because it's nearly
impossible to make code without warnings with fullwarn :-)
I can even volunteer to do that if nobody else has access to a sgi system. 

The "Never use this comes ..." part from the fact, that the function is not
completely thread safe, but if a function is deemed depriciated, we perhaps
shouldn't use it?
