So am I.  Emacs 30 is about to enter the release cycle.  Still, I took
several hours of my non-existent free time to try building this
pretest, since Joel asked me to do that each time a pretest is
published.

Thanks, will do.

Yes, about that: I don't have babeltrace, and the configure script
says:

  babletrace support disabled; GDB is unable to read CTF data.

Does this mean libctf is not going to be used in this build?  If so,
why doesn't the configure script disable libctf automatically when
babletrace is not available?
