Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
All. This problem exists in 6.4, 6.5, rhel7, F20 and even the upstream trunk version GDB

How reproducible:
always everywhere


Steps to Reproduce:
sierra648{jdelsign}82: gcc -g -o tls tls.c -pthread -static
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/4.4.7/../../../../lib64/libpthread.a(libpthread.o): In function `sem_open':
(.text+0x764d): warning: the use of `mktemp' is dangerous, better use `mkstemp'
sierra648{jdelsign}83: gdb tls
