0620b39b3b ("compat: add a mkstemps() compatibility function", 2009-05-31) included a function based on code from libiberty which would result in undefined behaviour in platforms where timeval's tv_usec is a 32-bit signed type as shown by: wrapper.c:505:31: runtime error: left shift of 594546 by 16 places cannot be represented in type '__darwin_suseconds_t' (aka 'int') interestingly the version of this code from gcc never had this bug and the code had a cast that would had prevented the issue (at least in 64-bit platforms) but was misapplied. change the cast to uint64_t so it also works in 32-bit platforms.
