As the comment from load_pdump_find_executable explains, there are setups where the /usr/bin/emacs is a symlink managed by something like alternatives. This symlink eventually points to an Emacs binary like emacs-28.0.90. These kind of setups are used to have installation of multiple versions of Emacs on the same system.
This is exactly the setup that I use on Cygwin, as I alluded to in my message to the other bug report. But I didn't mention there that I use symlinks managed by alternatives.
Supporting resolution of these symlinks while searching for a .pdmp file will make it possible to put the .pdmp files in libexecdir instead of putting those in the /usr/bin/. I think this should be in addition to the possibilities tried currently.
Yes. It's precisely because the symlinks aren't resolved that I've been putting the .pdmp files in /usr/bin, alongside the emacs executables.
