Well, I can use _mktemp_s with ffi using migw.
May be it depends on the version of msvcrt.dll.
C:\work>ruby -v mt.rb
ruby 1.9.3p0 (2011-10-30) [i386-mingw32]
"rb_file_temp_a07024"

=======================
require 'ffi'

class Win
 extend FFI::Library

 ffi_lib 'msvcrt'
 attach_function :_mktemp_s, [:string,:int], :string

 def self.mktemp
   str = "rb_file_temp_XXXXXX"
   _mktemp_s(str,21)
   p str
 end
end

Win.mktemp
======================
