I'm think about situations where we want to use Emacs in
emergencies to recover linux.
It's natural to be linked with Xlib, since we don't want to
use Emacs in text mode all the time.

Then, the question is, do we have to keep another version
of Emacs executable compiled without Xlib to use in runlevel 3,
while 'emacs -nw' works fine in terminals if Linux's on runlevel 5 ?

Probably that's not what it's meant to be.
Emacs is supposed to adapt itself to environment appropriately.
