Sure.

Configured using:
 'configure CPPFLAGS=-I/home/oscar/dev/include/mps
 LDFLAGS=-L/home/oscar/dev/other/mps/code --with-native-compilation
 --with-tree-sitter --without-toolkit-scroll-bars --with-x-toolkit=lucid
 --with-modules --without-imagemagick --with-mps=yes'

Configured features:
CAIRO DBUS FREETYPE GIF GLIB GMP GNUTLS GSETTINGS HARFBUZZ JPEG LIBOTF
LIBSELINUX LIBXML2 MODULES MPS NATIVE_COMP NOTIFY INOTIFY PDUMPER PNG
SECCOMP SOUND SQLITE3 THREADS TIFF TREE_SITTER WEBP X11 XAW3D XDBE XIM
XINPUT2 XPM LUCID ZLIB

I have the menubar disabled (menu-bar-mode -1) and use a custom command
to open it:

(defun my-menu-bar-open-after ()
  (remove-hook 'pre-command-hook 'my-menu-bar-open-after)
  (when (eq menu-bar-mode 42)
    (menu-bar-mode -1)))

(defun my-menu-bar-open (&rest args)
  (interactive)
  (let ((open menu-bar-mode))
    (unless open
      (menu-bar-mode 1))
    (funcall 'menu-bar-open args)
    (unless open
      (setq menu-bar-mode 42)
      (add-hook 'pre-command-hook 'my-menu-bar-open-after))))

(global-set-key [f10] 'my-menu-bar-open)

On that same session I used the command multiple times.

Emacs is already running here with that commit. Thanks!
