I don't understand what your point is.

I'm talking about re-using temacs, not the dumped emacs it creates.

Currently, we compile src/*.c to *.o, then link to make temacs. And we
do this twice. Each time is absolutely identical. I have checked this
by diffing the relevant section of the build logs, and the *.o and
temacs files generated each time.

I can see that in makefile.w32-in, you use a different PURESPACE
option to build bootstrap-temacs; but as I said, this has not been
true for six years in Makefile.in. I have no interest in making any
changes to makefile.w32-in. Perhaps you mean Makefile.in might have
been doing it wrong for six years?

The cross-compile argument would make sense to me, but Dan says it
doesn't work anyway.

Apologies if I have the wrong end of the stick...
