hmm I'd implement that differently, along the lines of pseudocode
	fd = open("/dev/urandom", O_RDONLY);
	read(fd, &num, sizeof(num);
	/* maybe some blackmagic now */
	i = open(template, flags, 0600);

 
But the question is why do you need mkstemp?

Should klibc have mkstemp(3): It is indeed part of POSIX.1-2001, but
I'm unsure if it is in the scope of klibc?
