The cause appears to be that for GNU mktemp, the -t option does not take an
argument [1]; likewise for OpenBSD mktemp [2] and Solaris mktemp [3].

Whereas for FreeBSD and NetBSD mktemp, the -t option takes an argument [4][5].

Since POSIX does not specify mktemp(1), neither of the two is "right" or
"wrong". We just have to live with both.
