That's not correct!  Ben was so kind not to quote the entire manpage
but only its relevant paragraphs.  I read a strange attitiude between
your lines.  Anyway, here is the end of that manpage:

BUGS
     The BSD -d option, which uses mkdtemp(2),  is not supported under Linux.

SEE ALSO
     mkstemp(3),  mktemp(3),  tempfile(1)

HISTORY
     The mktemp utility appeared in OpenBSD.

BSD Experimental              November, 20, 1996                             2

So OpenBSD gets proper credits, no need to be annoyed.
