Something like this should do the job (you might need to install some
package):

$ git clone https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/emacs.git
$ cd emacs && ./autogen.sh && ./configure --with-native-compilation && make -j16

Once done you can run this emacs without installing it with $ ./src/emacs

So if you wanted to use a VM not to install this particular Emacs it
might not be necessary.

Once we are more confident is not causing issues I'll do it.  Maybe we
can revist this in few weeks, hopefully sitting on master we should get
a report if something breaks.
