I know the book says that the switch causes mktemp to use functions

whenever this is done the reason is given, like bash's
"--without-bash-malloc" is stated in the book to be used because
bash's internal functions are unstable. Why is "--with-libc" needed
for mktemp?
Because otherwise it won't use the mkstemp() and mkdtemp() functions
from glibc, and will use its own replacements for them.
OK, then this should be mentioned in the book.
Please bugzilla this. Thanks.
Matt.
