Removing the --bindir switch solved the issue for me. Everything gets installed to the
expected location and the Emacs binary runs.

The location of the pdmp file was:
/home/user/emacs/libexec/emacs/28.1/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/emacs.pdmp

> Can you show the full absolute file name of the file window-0d1b8b93-7ef4271a.eln with

I couldn't expand the absolute location of `window-0d1b8b93-7ef4271a.eln`. The error message seemed to
indicate that it was looking for it under the directory where `emacs.pdmp` is, however there were no
directories present in that path. Just the pdmp file and three other binaries.

Thank you for helping out!
