[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #33669] Test of get_first_help_sentence fails on MinGW

[Rik]

Follow-up Comment #15, bug #33669 (project octave):

Perhaps fdopen is not able to rebind a file from text mode to binary mode? 
Some googling of the question didn't help much.  All of the documentation I
can find says only that the mode in fdopen must be consistent with the mode
used to open the original file.  So, if the original file was opened with
append you can't rebind to just 'w'.

So, unfortunately the situation is back to using a hack in the .m file or
integrating mkostemp from gnulib.
