Comment 1:

TestDirJoin is meant to be skipped on windows:
C:\>go test -v -run=DirJoin net/http
=== RUN TestDirJoin
--- SKIP: TestDirJoin (0.00 seconds)
        fs_test.go:264: skipping test; no /etc/hosts file
PASS
ok      net/http        0.734s
C:\>
How did you manage to run this test?

Comment 2:

I have D:\etc\hosts present in my filesystem.
The test skip rule depends on os.Stat("/etc/hosts") returning an error.
On windows os.Stat return is based on GetFileAttributesEx() which seems to use drive of
working directory as the "/"
os.Stat() may need to be fixed for windows so that path starting with "/" is not
considered valid.
Will prepare a patch.

Ahhaaa!!! Good detective work. Please, send a fix.
As to your other failures, I didn't get chance to look at then yet. But here is
https://golang.org/issue/5263 something similar. Perhaps it is just
a matter of you debugging to see why it breaks.
