Sorry, but coreutils 6.10 mktemp DOES provide -p option. This option is
depricated, but still usable ... Or do I miss something? On upstream pages is "A
different, but compatible, implementation of mktemp is available as part of GNU
coreutils." . Please provide me an example where the BSD mktemp is doing
something what GNU mktemp can't.

BSD mktemp options:
Usage: mktemp [-V] | [-dqtu] [-p prefix] [template]

GNU mktemp options:
Usage: /bin/mktemp [OPTION]... [TEMPLATE]
Create a temporary file or directory, safely, and print its name.
If TEMPLATE is not specified, use tmp.XXXXXXXXXX.

  -d, --directory  create a directory, not a file
  -q, --quiet      suppress diagnostics about file/dir-creation failure
  -u, --dry-run    do not create anything; merely print a name (unsafe)
  --tmpdir[=DIR]   interpret TEMPLATE relative to DIR.  If DIR is
                     not specified, use $TMPDIR if set, else /tmp.
                     With this option, TEMPLATE must not be an absolute name.
                     Unlike with -t, TEMPLATE may contain slashes, but even
                     here, mktemp still creates only the final component.

  -p DIR           use DIR as a prefix; implies -t [deprecated]
  -t               interpret TEMPLATE as a single file name component,
                     relative to a directory: $TMPDIR, if set; else the
                     directory specified via -p; else /tmp [deprecated]

      --help     display this help and exit
      --version  output version information and exit

So the only option I see as unavailable in GNU version is -V (and even that
option is in fact usable)
