On a i386-pc-solaris2.7 system, mktemp goes into an infinite loop.
The wrapper function definition for gettimeofday() is broken, so
the function keeps calling itself.

Thanks for the report and patch.
This relates to gnulib, so I've Cc'd that list.

This was resolved via this gnulib change:

    http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/gnulib.git/commit/?id=d236ccb95d1ebe92

so it'll be fixed in the next coreutils release.
I'm marking this issue as closed.
