During the core build, the PERLRUN macro has relative paths, so you can't
change the current directory without losing the ability to run Perl. This
works around that by running the Makefile.PL before changing directories.

This gets us a bit further but the basic.t still fails because its own
compile.t test (the one it creates on the fly) fails. I haven't tracked
down why yet:
$ perl [.t]compile.t
1..2
not ok 1
ok 2 - TEST_VERBOSE
Directory depth issues have also not been addressed yet as far as I know.
