Good question!  If one specifies O_TMPFILE as one of the flags on an open() call, 
Cygwin does set that Win32 attribute as desired.  Unfortunately, Cygwin's 
tmpfile() is supplied by newlib and it does not specify O_TMPFILE on its 
underlying open() call.

That looks like a bug to me, unless I'm missing something subtle there; I'll 
submit a patch and find out.
Thanks!
