That has nothing to do with sys.platform and platform.platform().

I would tend to think it's a feature, unless there is a way to run the
tests from the installed bits w/o the sources.

However, it is 100% a bug for anything in the build or install to link
against or execute anything gpsd-related that isn't in the source
directory.    This is what I fixed; gpsfake was being run without a
fully-qualified path.  Now is uses $SRCDIR, just like the other
inovacations.

If you're still seeing this, it means I didn't fix all the instances of
this bug.
