Hello!

Configuring for NS variant without dumping, because I want to use the NS variant and the X client off one installation, as

	env LANG=C PATH=/usr/bin:/bin:/opt/local/bin:/usr/local/texlive/2021/bin/universal-darwin:/usr/local/gnupg-2.2/bin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/opt/local/sbin:/usr/local/sbin:/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.8/bin:/opt/X11/bin ./configure --without-libsystemd --without-pop --without-sound --without-gpm --without-dbus --without-selinux --without-imagemagick --with-ns --with-dumping=none --disable-ns-self-contained --with-x-toolkit=athena --x-libraries=/opt/X11/lib --x-includes=/opt/local/include --enable-locallisppath=/Library/Application\ Support/Emacs/calendar28:/Library/Application\ Support/Emacs --with-file-notification=yes CPPFLAGS=-I/opt/local/include CFLAGS="-g -H -pipe -fPIC -fno-common -Os -arch x86_64 -fomit-frame-pointer" LDFLAGS="-v -arch x86_64 -Wl,-bind_at_load -Wl,-t -L /opt/local/lib" PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/opt/local/libexec/openssl3/lib/pkgconfig:/opt/local/lib/pkgconfig:/opt/local/share/pkgconfig:/opt/X11/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/lib/pkgconfig CC=clang CXX=clang++

compilations ends here:

	gmake[2]: *** No rule to make target '../src/emacs.pdmp', needed by '/Users/pete/Quellen/Emacs_CVS/emacs-28.0.90/nextstep/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/libexec/Emacs.pdmp'. Stop.

The same is *not* true for the X client, it builds.

Configure always reported in the end:

	Which dumping strategy does Emacs use? none
