There should be a file workdir/LinkTarget/Executable/batch.bat, and the 
call to osl_executeProcess at line 422 of 
sal/qa/osl/process/osl_process.cxx is trying to execute that, but fails 
with osl_Process_E_Unknown (that's the "4" above, see enum 
oslProcessError in include/osl/process.h).

Hard to tell why something fundamental like that fails for you (best bet 
on Windows is always: anti virus software?).  You can debug it via one 
of the two 'make CppunitTest_sal_osl_process ...' commands given above; 
the code of the failing osl_executeProcess is in sal/osl/w32/procimpl.cxx.
