My pleasure.

However, on my test build (for this issue) on GNU/Linux unfortunately I
do still see issues:

# The situation after setup
# (build with --prefix=/home/wilde/apps/emacs-native-dev and installed
# with make install):

% ls -l `which emacs`
lrwxrwxrwx 1 wilde wilde 13 Apr 17 21:21 
/home/wilde/apps/emacs-native-dev/bin/emacs -> emacs-28.0.50*
% ls -l `which emacs-28.0.50` 
-rwxr-xr-x 1 wilde wilde 25866768 Apr 17 21:21 
/home/wilde/apps/emacs-native-dev/bin/emacs-28.0.50*

# The problem:

% emacs                      
emacs: 
/home/wilde/apps/emacs-native-dev/libexec/emacs/28.0.50/x86_64-p/home/wilde/apps/emacs-native-dev/libexec/emacs/28.0.50/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/../native-lisp/28.0.50-f13b7cda/preloaded/frame-aa2cd9f8-88c2b85c.eln:
 cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

# What works:

% emacs-28.0.50
# → emacs starts fine.

FWIW, The file not found when invoked using the symlink "emasc" is at:
/home/wilde/apps/emacs-native-dev/lib/emacs/28.0.50/native-lisp/28.0.50-f13b7cda/preloaded/frame-aa2cd9f8-88c2b85c.eln
