std::tmpnam, like std::gets, should be killed with fire. If a target C
library doesn't provide it then I have no problem is libstdc++ doesn't
provide it either.

Thanks for following this up.

I'm curious why you use tmpnam("NULL") rather than tmpnam(NULL) or
tmpnam("something")?  Using the string literal "NULL" is a bit
confusing (although not a problem.)

How does __UCLIBC_SUSV4_LEGACY__ get defined?  We'd have a problem if
users defined that at configure time but not later when using the
library.
