You can use MMK/DUMP and/or MMK/LOG to try to diagnose exactly what's
happening, but it must have something to do with an implicit
dependency getting missed when going from Encode.xs to Encode.c to
Encode.obj. I would try making the dependencies more explicit,
perhaps with a hack like the following to Encode's Makefile.PL.

I thought the level we had it at was ok, but perhaps something has
gotten deeper. Have you tried building one level higher? A hint
about the rooted logical solution is a good idea, though.

Once MMK has started processing the Descrip.MMS, I don't think you
can change default directory in the main process (only in
subprocesses).

There's an example in MakeMaker. See
http://www.makemaker.org/src/ExtUtils-MakeMaker-snap/t/lib/MakeMaker/Test/Setup/BFD.pm
and look for the _setup_bfd_test_root subroutine.
