Comment 20 for bug 1971901

I'm testing on two environments:
E1) with dlltool 2.38-1
E2) with dlltool 2.37-3

I see the error in E1 only <g>

on all env, I run
> strace winebuild... <c/l from makefile> -v -v >& log
> grep exec log

results:

to summarize, binutils 2.38 no longer generates a temp file name dependant on the pid... using the -t options forces back the regular behavior...

Bernhard, Sveinar: could you also look at the dlltool --version output to see if this converges to 2.38*

looks I have to dig further into binutils source code
