This is a build error report. I'm using a previous build of emacs-29 to report,
because this one failed (duh). So I have deleted the irrelevant info about configuration etc
from this buffer.

Fresh clone of git://git.savannah.gnu.org/emacs.git, emacs-29 branch,
HEAD commit 8d7ad65665833ae99b7e7119dae37afa438968a4. It was configured
thusly:

        #!/usr/bin/env bash

      export CC="clang"

      ./configure \
      --disable-silent-rules \
      --enable-locallisppath=/opt/homebrew/share/emacs/site-lisp \
      --infodir=/opt/homebrew/Cellar/emacs-plus@29/29.0.60/share/info/emacs \
      --prefix=/opt/homebrew/Cellar/emacs-plus@29/29.0.60 \
      --with-xml2 \
      --with-gnutls \
      --without-compress-install \
      --without-dbus \
      --without-imagemagick \
      --with-modules \
      --with-rsvg \
      --with-ns \
      --disable-ns-self-contained

Here is relevant output from the build, make -j8 bootstrap in a MacOS
Terminal with bash 5.2. This skips over > 2000 lines of output.
