You are saying that building Emacs in the source tree somehow updates
the .pdmp file in the _installation_ tree?  That's got to be
macOS-specific, because that should never happen.  The installation
tree is modified only by "make install".

Any idea which place in the Makefile's or in loadup.el does that?
