One issue I've noticed while working on #13716 is that most (if not all)
of the tests runs in the `ext-interp` way fail when run inside a tree
derived from a source distribution tarball. For instance,
{{{
$ git clone git://git.haskell.org/ghc
$ cd ghc
$ git submodule update --init
$ mk/get-win32-tarballs.sh download all
$ ./boot
$ ./configure
$ make sdist
$ mkdir tmp; cd tmp
$ ls ../sdistprep/ghc-*-src.tar.xz | xargs -n1 tar -xf
$ cd ghc-*
$ ./boot
$ ./configure
$ make -j9
$ make test TEST=T10638
...

Actual stderr output differs from expected:
