Re: glibc sysdeps/posix/tempname.c artificially limited to TMP_MAX

The limit is not imposed by the code.  This is the fault of the broken
systems you are trying to support.  The correct way to handle this is
to fix these systems.

Beside, using your code is plainly wrong since it doesn't take TMP_MAX
into account.  You cannot simply define a maximum values and be done.
If this value is not at least as big as TMP_MAX you'll have to use
TMP_MAX.
