>=C2=A0 =C2=A0 every compilation.=C2=A0 I always chose bootstrap-emacs a= s the executable to
>=C2=A0 =C2=A0 compile.

IIUC, on GNU/Linux bootstrap-emacs is a hard link to the latest=
executable, and there should also be another hard link called simply
emacs; that's what I execute when I want the most recent built
executable.=C2=A0 I don't know if other platforms also have this setup.=
