Hi,

Andi had objections about the mktemp usage and I agree with him.
The proposed patch in bugzilla didn't have this and no further 
justification was given for why it's needed.
Below is a replacement patch with some improvements:
- kbuild doesn't use $(AS), so use $(CC)
- tmp dir needs only to be calculated once
- reformat a bit to keep it under 80 columns and to be more readable

bye, Roman
