Well, I am satisfied with using fixed names for the temporary files, as I
suggested. One can unlink them, and if they remain by some error, or as
they do anyway when requesting tracing, they will be easily identifiable.

How should that work? It is M4 that is the problem: It needs to read a
sequence of files of which the Bison computed outputs is in the second
and/or third ones:
  m4 ... m4sugar.m4 definitions skeleton
as in m4_invoke().
