Dump how? with the portable dumping? If so, we don't yet fully
support re-dumping, although it's a goal we'd like to reach.
I might be confused, but I thought redumping referred to dumping using an already dumped emacs. I'm trying to bootstrap emacs with these additional features loaded in the initial dump.

Pure space will go away at some point, so we are unlikely to invest
any effort into fixing this.
I recalled seeing an exchange to that effect on this list. I'll try the hack (on alloc.c) and see if it works as an interim solution.
