Subject: compile test failure under xmaxima on Linux

Finally I realized why compile(f) test fails under
xmaxima on Linux. Situation here is quite different.
On Windows
f(x) := x+2; compile(f);
always fails due to some gcc problems.
On Linux the above test works
fine if we execute it manually
but fails inside Maxima test suite.
And the reason is very simple.
To run tests xmaxima make cd into
tests directory which is not writable
by ordinary user. Maxima just unable
to create any intermediate temporary
files. Maybe this is gcl compiler
problem - it should create files
in some temporary directory.
Any workarounds?
