These are all the *.pdmp files on my system:
/home/wilhelm/src/tools/emacs/src/bootstrap-emacs.pdmp
/home/wilhelm/src/tools/emacs/src/emacs-28.0.50.1.pdmp
/home/wilhelm/src/tools/emacs/src/emacs.pdmp
/usr/local/libexec/emacs/28.0.50/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/emacs.pdmp

The relative path comment was unimportant, sorry about that. I just meant
that emacs is trying to find
`/usr/local/native-lisp/28.0.50-864bf4e5/preloaded/window-0d1b8b93-dcb2375f.eln`
which does not exist.

From what I can see these are the only links:
/usr/local/bin/emacs -> emacs-28.0.50
/home/wilhelm/src/tools/otp/lib/tools/emacs/tags.erl -> ../src/tags.erl

The only non-standard configuration is umask set to 0077, but not sure if
that is relevant.
