What happens if you do something like this? It should generate more
debugging output.
cd tests/mv
VERBOSE=yes make TESTS=no-target-dir
is this OK?
lorenz 288% env VERBOSE=yes make TESTS=no-target-dir
No suffix list.

do you have an idea what is going wrong here???
Possibly you have a process whose working directory is
tests/mv/no-target-dir.tmp/26138. That would explain both the
original failure, and the failure of your attempt to clean up
manually.
even after a reboot of the machine I cannot remove that directory.
This loosely reminds me of the "folder from hell" phenomenon back in
the 80s on then-current Macintoshes
The no-target-dir script does a "cd tests/mv/no-target-dir.tmp/26138".
I wouldn't expect to see the behavior you're observing, though, since
that script should exit right away. Perhaps it is generating a
subprocess that isn't exiting, on your host? Anyway, the VERBOSE=yes
business might tell you what is going wrong.
