This question seems to pop up every 3 months, and somehow people think I remember the answer by heart ;-) Here's what I found in the archives: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2018-03/msg00924.html http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2018-03/msg00929.html Note that the master branch acquired several fundamentally new features in the meantime, such as bignums, Lisp-objects-as-pointers, and changes in misc objects, which AFAIU will need pdumper support, so merging the branch now will need more work than you see in the above 2 messages. Thanks.
