Hmm, yes: on MS Windows, the mock trick doesn't work. I hoped, that at
least the tests which do not need a real connection do work.

Well, if you have a remote host reachable via putty, which has also a
/tmp directory, you could try

set REMOTE_TEMPORARY_FILE_DIRECTORY=/plink:user@host:/tmp

prior the make call.

Thanks, and best regards, Michael.
