I think that is a bug.
Makefile seems not to have a separate rule for the file
'emacs.pdump'. It treats that as an aspect of 'emacs'. Thus, the
'emacs' rule should write 'emacs.pdmp' correctly too.
I tried 'make -k' just now. It did write 'emacs.pdmp'.
Then I deleted 'alloc.o' and then 'make -k'.
It loaded up and dumped, writing 'boostrap-emacs.pdmp'.
Then it loaded up and dumped again, writing 'emacs.pdmp'.
That was not necessary. Once should have been enough.
Can't you
> omit the "emacs" part? If not, why not?
The reason I omit it is that this was, in the past, a way to avoid
rebuilding stuff I didn't need to rebuild. Perhaps it was to avoid
recompiling Lisp files (which takes a long time so I always chose
manually what to recompile). I don't remewmber for sure.
The second dump step is not a big annoyance for me. On my rather old
machine, chosen to run Libreboot, it takes less than a minute.
But it still seems like an error that the 'emacs' target does not
deliver a working 'emacs'.
