Maybe it was not clear earlier in the thread, but I am using:

>>>> This is built from git checkout of emacs-30 or emacs-30.0.91 in /home/mark/Stuff/emacs

I have been using a simple script to build in-development snapshots
from git for a while and, for
historical reasons (?), always used the sequence of:

git clean -fdx
make bootstrap
./configure
make

I guess this is really not necessary any more so I will switch to the
simpler methods in INSTALL.REPO.
