I just stumbled on a build failure caused by this patch, when building for mingw:

  CXX    unittests/mkdir-recursive-selftests.o
/home/emaisin/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/unittests/mkdir-recursive-selftests.c: In function ‘void selftests::mkdir_recursive::test()’:
/home/emaisin/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/unittests/mkdir-recursive-selftests.c:49:20: error: ‘mkdtemp’ was not declared in this scope
   if (mkdtemp (base) == NULL)
                    ^

The function in the original code was guarded by HAVE_MKDTEMP (the register_test
call still is).  So I guess the function should be put back in an ifdef, or we
should import the mkdtemp gnulib module (I don't remember why I chose not to do
that).
