Dear emacs developers, I did a fresh git co -f from emacs master branch (at 157fced053601c993734c61078c42d7905389828). Emacs was built and installed just fine. But Emacs does not start if called as a symlink. See this terminal session (numbers at the beginning of a line are return values from last command): 0 (master *%=) grfz <at> len:~/src/emacs$ hash -r 0 (master *%=) grfz <at> len:~/src/emacs$ emacs-snapshot -Q --debug-init emacs: could not resolve realpath of "(null)": No such file or directory 1 (master *%=) grfz <at> len:~/src/emacs$ src/emacs-27.0.50.1 -Q --debug-init 0 (master *%=) grfz <at> len:~/src/emacs$ type -a emacs-snapshot emacs-snapshot is /usr/bin/emacs-snapshot 0 (master *%=) grfz <at> len:~/src/emacs$ ls -l /usr/bin/emacs-snapshot lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 29 Jun 24 11:01 /usr/bin/emacs-snapshot -> /usr/bin/emacs.emacs-snapshot* 0 (master *%=) grfz <at> len:~/src/emacs$ ls -l /usr/bin/emacs.emacs-snapshot lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 35 Jun 24 11:01 /usr/bin/emacs.emacs-snapshot -> /usr/local/bin/emacs.emacs-snapshot* 0 (master *%=) grfz <at> len:~/src/emacs$ ls -l /usr/local/bin/emacs.emacs-snapshot lrwxrwxrwx 1 root staff 47 Jun 24 11:01 /usr/local/bin/emacs.emacs-snapshot -> ../stow/emacs-snapshot/bin/emacs.emacs-snapshot* 0 (master *%=) grfz <at> len:~/src/emacs$ ls -l /usr/local/stow/emacs-snapshot/bin/emacs.emacs-snapshot lrwxrwxrwx 1 root grfz 13 Jun 24 11:01 /usr/local/stow/emacs-snapshot/bin/emacs.emacs-snapshot -> emacs-27.0.50* 0 (master *%=) grfz <at> len:~/src/emacs$ diff -Nur src/emacs-27.0.50.1 /usr/local/stow/emacs-snapshot/bin/emacs-27.0.50 0 (master *%=) grfz <at> len:~/src/emacs$ /usr/local/stow/emacs-snapshot/bin/emacs-27.0.50 -Q --debug-init 0 (master *%=) grfz <at> len:~/src/emacs$ I do use non-standard configure flags (see below).
