New submission from Stéphane Wirtel <stephane at wirtel.be>:

Hi,

I got these warning messages

/usr/bin/ld: libpython2.7.a(posixmodule.o): in function `posix_tmpnam':
/home/stephane/src/github.com/python/cpython/./Modules/posixmodule.c:7648: warning: the use of `tmpnam_r' is dangerous, better use `mkstemp'
/usr/bin/ld: libpython2.7.a(posixmodule.o): in function `posix_tempnam':
/home/stephane/src/github.com/python/cpython/./Modules/posixmodule.c:7595: warning: the use of `tempnam' is dangerous, better use `mkstemp'


Because the EOL of 2.7 is in 2020-01-01, do you think we should fix this issue?
