Research direction

Review linked PR gh-136302 and the original BPO issue 45178 first, since the issue has no source file or test named and work is already linked elsewhere. Confirm the intended Linux behavior for linking unnamed temporary files and identify the relevant library implementation and tests from that work. Done means the requested support is implemented and covered by tests.
