Uups, I thought this - or similar - would be done by below part of
build-zips.sh?


    make -j 4 $INSTALL_TARGET \
         prefix=$HOME/emacs-build/install/emacs-$VERSION
    cd $HOME/emacs-build/install/emacs-$VERSION
    zip -r -9 emacs-$OF_VERSION-no-deps.zip *
    mv emacs-$OF_VERSION-no-deps.zip $HOME/emacs-upload

    if [ -z $SNAPSHOT ];
    then
        DEPS_FILE=$HOME/emacs-build/deps/emacs-$MAJOR_VERSION-deps.zip
    else
        ## Pick the most recent snapshot whatever that is
        DEPS_FILE=`ls $HOME/emacs-build/deps/emacs-$MAJOR_VERSION-*-deps.zip | 
tail -n 1`
    fi

    echo [build] Using $DEPS_FILE
    unzip -d bin $DEPS_FILE

    zip -r -9 emacs-$OF_VERSION.zip *
    mv emacs-$OF_VERSION.zip ~/emacs-upload

Not only above is confusing, but also why is

    INSTALL_TARGET="install-strip"

in the script?  (Back to pretest building) I've got an error for

$ build-zips.sh -V28

in the emacs-28 worktree, maybe, that is a wrong usage of the scrip?
Anyway, "install-strip" seems not to be a valid target for make!?

No reason to apologise, it was working for you.  Rather, thank you for
your work. :-)
