Right, makes sense.

Yes, I think so.  But please add a note in test/Makefile.in, where
this /nonexistent trick is set up, that if the name is changed,
startup.el should be changed as well.

However, I've run the test suite after updating from Git, and that
/nonexistent directory is still being created, with files
comp-test-funcs, comp-test-funcs-dyn, comp-test-45603, and a few
subr--trampoline* files.  The rest of the *.eln files created by the
test are going to the temporary directory, but there's no
emacs-testsuite-NNN subdirectory there.  Any ideas what could be
causing that?

Thanks.
