(cygwin?) gcc 7.3.0 mkstemp compile error (and solution)

[jlmxyz]

on cygwin (will test on linux) there is a compile error complaining

util-unix.cpp:79:13: error: 'mkstemp' was not declared in this scope

according to this https://stackoverflow.com/questions/21689124/mkstemp-and-fdopen-in-cygwin-1-7-28 this is due to --std=c++11 defining U__STRICT_ANSI__
a solution is to relax the std=c++11, another would be to drop the dependency on mkstemp and use http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/io/c/tmpnam or best http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/io/c/tmpfile

I confirm this issue (and solution) on cygwin.

Overriding default CFlags works:

CXXFLAGS=" -Wall -pedantic -Wno-long-long -O2 -U__STRICT_ANSI__" make

See #145 and

git-crypt/Makefile

Line 19 in 0dec707

CXXFLAGS += -U__STRICT_ANSI__
