Both /tmp and /var/tmp are writable (drwxrwxrwt).  Trying your suggestion:

$ gpsfake -v -l -P 2948 -c 1 -o "-F /var/tmp/gpsd.sock" output.nmea
Processing output.nmea
gpsd:ERROR: can't bind to local socket /var/tmp/gpsd.sock
gpsd:ERROR: control socket create failed, netlib error -1
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/gpsfake", line 319, in <module>
    test.run()
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/gps/fake.py", line 737, in run
