Note that Windows-based platforms do something quite similar, but always
use the same (x.exe) filename.  I wonder, in passing, if that makes a
vulnerability in parallel testing (I chose to avoid the possibility for
Darwin).

Tested on x86_64-darwin21, x86_64-linux-gnu,
OK for trunk?
back-ports where applicable (I did not yet check)?
thanks
Iain

Darwin has a separate debug linker, which is invoked when the command
line contains source files and debug is enabled.

Using /dev/null as the executable name does not, therefore, work when
debug is enabled, since the debug linker does not accept /dev/null as
a valid executable name.

The leads to incorrectly UNSUPPORTED testcases because of the unintended
error result from the test compilation.

The solution here is to use a temporary file that is deleted at the
end of the test (which is the mechanism used elsewhere)

libstdc++-v3/ChangeLog:

	* testsuite/lib/libstdc++.exp (v3_target_compile): Instead of
	/dev/null, use a temporary file for test executables on Darwin.

Parallel testing should use a separate directory for each runtest
process, so each x.exe is in a separate directory. That's a
predictable name that could be used by an attacker, but I don't think
it's a problem specific to parallel testing. A single runtest process
has the same behaviour.

Capital N for Note, and "deleting".

OK for trunk and branches with that change.
