ugh, tysm; fixed.

In point of fact, I was well aware of there being edges here --hence being cautious, to start-- so I doubly appreciate your correcting the record.

Re-reading it, I agree it clearly does have too much squee – I plead the thrill of a “new to me” Emacs feature: something that didn’t work for me yesterday does now: namely, dumping after I’ve natively compiled some things. Heady stuff; I got carried away.

Thank you for providing the clarity I hadn’t realized was absent.

Since the post might be striking some as cryptic, here’s more general information on what the portable dumper is, how it relates to (building) Emacs, and why you might care.
