I "borrowed" this patch from Gentoo and my C skills are very basic.  
But from what I understand it just ge'st rid of the warnings but  
doesn't change the functionality.
I do use a hardened toolchain for my compile and they won't compile  
the code without the modification.

I left this in the patch on purpose, since log files belong into  
/var/log and not /tmp.
