I meant the "b" part, not the "+" part. On systems where that changes the bytestream written to the file, the change might require a suitable change where we read that stuff.
If I understand things correctly the code was formerly using tmpfile which does use "b", so I figured "b" was fine.
Another way to think about it: GNU 'make' just writes text to the file. On MS-Windows if you're writing text using "b" doesn't a later read by another process work regardless of whether the read uses "b"?
