It's that what I want: just one single pile of 100 MB of files.

Actually my first description is wrong.

In the meantime I tried to reproduce the effect – and failed. The bug is that I 
have to invoke 'make install' to produce a working Emacs.app in the nextstep 
sub-directory. This in turn installs 
/usr/local/libexec/emacs/28.0.90/x86_64-apple-darwin21.2.0/emacs.pdmp:

    During "make":
------------------
        rm -f bootstrap-emacs.pdmp
        Dumping under the name bootstrap-emacs.pdmp
        Dumping under the name emacs.pdmp
        Adding name emacs-28.0.90.1.pdmp
        cp -f emacs.pdmp bootstrap-emacs.pdmp 
        cp -f ../src/emacs.pdmp 
/Users/pete/Quellen/Emacs_CVS/emacs-28.0.90/nextstep/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/libexec/Emacs.pdmp

    During "make install":
--------------------------
        /usr/bin/install -c -m 644 src/emacs.pdmp 
"/usr/local/libexec/emacs/28.0.90/x86_64-apple-darwin21.2.0"/emacs.pdmp

Is the latter actually necessary?

Renaming /usr/local/libexec/emacs/28.0.90/x86_64-apple-darwin21.2.0/emacs.pdmp 
lead to Emacs loading a lot of ELisp files. The other copied dump file, 
Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/libexec/Emacs.pdmp, is not used although it exists in 
/Applications, where I "installed" Emacs.app.
