So we now know this emacs.pdmp file was produced by dumping the *.elc
files, not *.eln files.  I asked you earlier whether you saw Emacs
saying stuff like

   Loading foo (native-compiled lisp)...

when building the GTK build, and you said yes.  But somehow, the
emacs.pdmp file that you installed in /usr/bin isn't the one produced
as above.  Please examine your build procedure to understand why that
happened.

Please reconsider.  When Emacs finds the .pdmp file near its
executable, it makes certain assumptions about the location of the
*.eln files that don't fit the installed Emacs.  So placing the .pdmp
files there is not a good idea.
