tmpfile uses "wb+" (POSIX requires this) and we should be consistent in

I don't remember: where is this temporary file read?
It's read by a different process (fork+exec), so it doesn't matter for
'make' now whether it uses "w+" or "w". It matters only for possible
future changes to 'make' later, assuming we ever change other parts of
'make' to sometimes need read access via the same FILE *.
