With that preferred solution, startup.el will not need to be changed,
will it?

I'm not sure what dependency you are talking about.  What I had in
mind was to arrange in test/Makefile.in to use that directory for
*.eln files, via some Lisp variable or environment variable.  This
way, Emacs will not need to understand it is being run as part of the
test suite.

Does anyone see a problem with that?
