The next snag I hit seems to be that eliminate_macros no longer knows
who $self is. Since MM needs to run on older perls I have not tried to
fix this by patching File::Spec, though I'm afraid I don't see right off
what else to do about it either. The debugger output below illustrates
the problem better than I could explain it.
