I'm assuming that temp_dir_path()'s test code would be in a
separate executable, so that wouldn't be an issue.

Use setenv() and unsetenv() to modify the environment and run the test to verify you get the expected results.

Set each of the e-vars singly, in turn, and test with each.

Set each pair of e-vars, in turn, and verify the results for each.

Etc.

Set just TMPDIR to an invalid, but non-empty, pathname and test for the expected error.
