Research direction
Start with test/test_build_details.py, especially CPythonBuildDetailsTests.test_base_interpreter, and reproduce the failure when Python is executed from a relocated installation. Inspect how the test obtains and compares the base interpreter paths. Done means test_build_details passes in the relocated-place scenario without breaking the other listed tests.
