To be honest, I don't understand what you mean by the first sentence.
The linked message didn't say it's w/o native-compilation?

Let me add another question, just to be as precise as possible:

I understand We have differences between 2 independent builds with
native compilation.  When you say executable and pdmp differ without
native compilation, do you mean between 2 builds both without native
comp?

Not of great help, I'm afraid.  Lots of stuff nobody wants to know, here
at least :-).

Anyway--what are these CFLAGS for, esp. -DPDMP_BASE=...?  I don't know
what they do.

I'd recommend simplifying things by building Emacs with standard options
(no CFLAGS=...) and without any of your build tools.  Just 2 clean build
directories, and then compare.
