Building with pdump results in two files -- executable (temacs) and
corresponding dumped lisp. Right?
Right. "Ex-temacs", I'd say, since when you're pdumping there is never
any file called temacs. But sematically, yes, it's temacs.
Then why not to keep dumped part somewhere under
${datadir}/${instvardir}/ ?
Where ${datadir}/${instvardir} is depends on where the executable is,
was installed, whether there where any links, etc. XEmacs handling of
this is quite complex in order to please everybody. This is computed
in lisp.
Said lisp code is in the dump file...
