Skimming this bug report, I'm not sure I understand what the problem is,
or whether there's a problem here at all.
Using different prefixes is certainly the way to do it if you want to
install two different Emacs versions, but I'm not very familiar with
Macos stuff. (And as usual, I don't understand why somebody says "make
install" at all on a development version -- Emacs runs just fine from
the build directories.)
So is there anything to do here, or should this bug report be closed?
