[Emacs-diffs] master dd09e72 2/4: Allow a CANNOT_DUMP build to use exec-path during bootstrap.

[Ken Raeburn]

branch: master
commit dd09e72ed6b1c6ba5c584e7aa32d98437d96326a
Author: Ken Raeburn <address@hidden>
Commit: Ken Raeburn <address@hidden>

    Allow a CANNOT_DUMP build to use exec-path during bootstrap.
    
    During a bootstrap, loading rmail.el invokes movemail to determine its
    flavor, but call-process doesn't work if exec-path is nil.
    
    * lisp/loadup.el: Only clear exec-path if dumping.
