Ignore it.

This particular problem w/ GNAT has already been reported to them. They do
expect to fix it in a future release of the product. I am running with a
recent "wavefront" (developmental release) on Linux, and get similar
warning messages from the linker.

From reviewing the code - there are several functions that refer to mktemp
or tmpnam and similar items. As far as I can tell - none of them are used
by the run time library unless you explicitly call them yourself.
