IIRC what happens is that it doesn't do GC, other than that it should
behave normally. It is useful for bootstrapping to be able to get an Emacs
that works well enough to byte-compile some files (which will then use less
Pure storage next time we dump them).
A pure lisp storage overflow is a serious bug that neds to be fixed, but
I don't think it's a good excuse to refuse to build an `emacs' executable.
