The problem is that that approach does not work on emacs 27.x

Sorry, I did that again.. By "does not work", I mean that on emacs 27.x, make vcheck gets stuck at the package installation step (where the packages should get installed to package-user-dir). So I had to kill make vcheck as nothing was happening:

Back on emacs 26 branch, I get:
