Understood. I don’t think what you want exists as an option so far.

I think I am right because a simple "make" will copy it again.
See nextstep/Makefile, line 29 (target ${ns_appbindir}/Emacs, which is required
by "all").
And this makefile is called via the "ns-app" target in src/Makefile, which is
put in $OTHER_FILES, required by "all" there (and not just "install").

If this works well, you could get the ns-app target to make symlinks in
nextstep (put code as a new target in nextstep/Makefile perhaps). Then, "make
install" will do what it does now, but if one wants to run the executable
directly, this could be conveniently done after a "make".
