When I run git clone git://git.savannah.gnu.org/emacs.git I get Cloning into 'emacs'... fatal: unable to connect to git.savannah.gnu.org: git.savannah.gnu.org[0: 209.51.188.168]: errno=Connection timed out git.savannah.gnu.org[1: 2001:470:142::168]: errno=Network is unreachable So I tried git clone https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/emacs.git Which succeeds. I then compile with make and run the new executable. The emacs version is 29.0.50. And this emacs version does not have this problem. The tab bar was shown immediately after M-x tab-bar-mode. Thanks for your help. It seems the bug is already fixed in the latest development version.
