I either did not explain or misunderstood. The file I am referring to
does not have a number.
The bootstrap sequence goes:
Dumping under names emacs and emacs-22.0.91
mv -f emacs bootstrap-emacs
...do stuff using bootstrap-emacs...
make mostlyclean
rm -f bootstrap-emacs
Dumping under names emacs and emacs-22.0.91.1
At the end, I have:
emacs and emacs-22.0.91.1 (hard links, 13 MB)
emacs-22.0.91 (20MB, was a hard link to bootstrap-emacs)
If bootstrap-emacs gets deleted, surely emacs-22.0.91 (without ".1" at
the end) should too?
