     Whoops, guess I wasn’t keeping enough an eye out for autocorrect, the scurvy cur…

     Ah, maybe I passed ‘--enable-texlive’ during the run that worked!  That would explain things.

Or maybe TL_TARGET=“install-strip check". Or don’t use Build and just run your own configure && make; that's all Build really is.
