Thanks for the bug report.  Is the problem fixed in diffutils test
version 2.8.4?  Here's the URL:
ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/diffutils/diffutils-2.8.4.tar.gz

Does lib/libdiffutils.a contain mkstemp.o and tempname.o?
For example, what does "ar tv lib/libdiffutils.a" say?

What symbols are defined by lib/mkstemp.o and lib/tempname.o?
"nm lib/mkstemp.o; nm lib/tempname.o" should tell you.
