This shouldn't happen.  There is a special GROFF_MKSTEMP macro in
aclocal.m4 (for the configure script) which tests explicitly whether
mkstemp() is available in C++.  Please send me the relevant snippet
from config.log for further examination.

This looks like an error in troff itself since the -M option is
correct above -- please check config.log to find out which functions
are not available; maybe something is broken here.

Without logfiles of the compilation process and/or the configure
script I can't really help.
