** To install the Emacs binary in a non-standard directory, use '--bindir='.
If you install Emacs in a way that places the Emacs executable file in
-a directory other than ${prefix}/bin, you will now need to specify
+a directory other than "${prefix}/bin", you will now need to specify
that at configure time, if you build Emacs with native-compilation
support. To this end, add the '--bindir=DIRECTORY' switch to the
command line of the 'configure' script, where DIRECTORY is the
-directory in which you will install the executable file 'emacs'. This
-is required even if you place a symlink under ${prefix}/bin that

points to the real executable file in some other DIRECTORY.
It is no longer enough to specify 'bindir=DIRECTORY' on the command
line of the "make install" command.
The reason for this new requirement is that Emacs needs to locate at
-startup the directory with its '*.eln' natively-compiled files for the
+startup the directory with its "*.eln" natively-compiled files for the
preloaded Lisp packages, and the relative name of that directory needs
therefore to be recorded in the executable as part of the build.
