As you've written this, mktemp must be able to write to the string
pointed to by temp.  GCC puts string constants in text space so they
aren't writeable and thus mktemp() goes boom.  Try this instead:

#include <unistd.h>
int main()
{
  char temp[] = "/tmp/temp.XXXXXX";
  mktemp(temp);
  return 0;
}
