I think I've found something.

Assume I git pull, and emacs-lisp/comp.el is modified in a way that 
loaddefs gets regenerated and written to disk.  Then do a toplevel 
gmake.  After that, I see the following:

~/emacs/master/ > ll lisp/loaddefs.el* src/emacs.pdmp

nextstep/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/libexec/Emacs.pdmp

Note that the pdmp in Emacs.app is new, while the loaddefs under 
nextstep are old.

After gmake install:

~/emacs/master/ > ll lisp/loaddefs.el* src/emacs.pdmp 
lisp/emacs-lisp/comp.* 
nextstep/Emacs.app/Contents/Resources/lisp/loaddefs*

nextstep/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/libexec/Emacs.pdmp

Means to me that if I just gmake, expecting that could not possibly 
change Emacs.app, I'm quite mistaken.  Instead, I now have an 
inconsistent Emacs.app.

Does that make sense?

Has someone maybe an idea why the pdmp gets installed so early?
