Hi Corwin,
Thank you so much for the kind answer!! I've now successfully compiled and installed Emacs 29.1 – and enjoying it! :)
Had never used "--with-native-compilation" before, and I can really see it's faster (or it's just a psychological effect).
I've written down all the help and explanations received here for next time :)
Cheers,
Luca
