I notice when libffi is configuring, it says:

checking for mkostemp... yes

Is that right? The line in libffi that calls mkostemp : https://github.com/libffi/libffi/blob/5d0365c605c472f40d1195cf7ba04ae08e360cb7/src/closures.c#L502

I am experiencing the same issue. I think it might be related to the recent xcode update, so I’ll try to go back to xcode 7 and see what happens then. I’ll report back with what I find.

edit:

Can confirm that downgrading to Xcode 7 lets you build again.

Okay, thanks!
