I found the problem: the new portable dumper needs emacs.pdmp in
`data-directory'.  Unfortunately, when you run without "make install",
data-directory is set to emacs/etc/ whereas the emacs.pdmp resides in
emacs/src/.

For the time being, I've created a symlink emacs/etc/emacs.pdmp ->
emacs/src/emacs.pdmp.

Bye,
Tassilo
