Hi HP,

It seems like most of this patch is a workaround for bugs elsewhere:

- projects not using -frandom-seed
- temporary file names appearing in debug information

I think it would be better to work on those bugs rather than put in a workaround which

- aggrevates security problems
- will cause the compiler to behave incorrectly on some projects.
