WangYuli reported [1] that the temporary file created by test_fortify.sh
is recognised by git as untracked file, especially if it remains after
non-common exits of test_fortify.sh (e.g. killed by signal).

The following two patches handle that by renaming the temporary file and
by cleaning up the file in more situations.
