ar.exe: could not create temporary file whilst writing archive: no more archived files

Hello,

I am a first time user of mingw (in order to compile for ms-windows a
package originally written for gnu/linux).  So I downloaded the current
version of mingw, but using it always fails with :

"C:\MinGW\bin\ar.exe: could not create temporary file whilst writing
archive: no more archived files"

Looking at the archives of the mailing list, I have seen
- that I am not the only one having that problem
- that it is maybe related to a mkstemp problem introduced in mingwrt-5.2

Now my question(s) :

- How can I install an older version (of  mingwrt-5.2, or of the whole
mingw installation) ?
- Alternatively, will a fixed mingwrt-5.2 package be released in the
coming days ?

Thanks for your work

Philippe
