Thanks.

Could you find the smallest increment that still allows you to build
Emacs?

Also, what happens if you "make bootstrap" -- do you still need to
enlarge pure size, or does it build with the current size?

And I see you are actually compiling with 30,000,000, which is 10
times larger than the number you reported:

>  -fstack-clash-protection -Wformat -Werror=format-security
>  -fcf-protection -Wall -DBASE_PURESIZE=30000000' 'CPPFLAGS=-Wdate-time
                         ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Why is that?
