71 | compile time whether mktemp is present, and hardcodes the result in a test.

72 | This will cause the script to fall back to using less random names for

124 | <note>

125 | <para>At this point, it is strongly recommended to repeat the sanity

126 | check performed earlier in this chapter. Refer back to <xref

---|
127 | linkend="ch-system-readjusting" role=","/> and repeat the check. If
|

128 | the results are in error, then the most likely reason is that the GCC

129 | Specs patch from <xref linkend="chapter-temporary-tools"/> was
|
---|
130 | erroneously applied here.</para>
