Today I have built Emacs from sources
(git.savannah.gnu.org/git/emacs.git)

make install copied  the emacs binary to /usr/local/bin and emacs.pdmp
to /usr/local/lib/emacs/27.0.1/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/emacs.pdmp

Knowing the path to  pdmp file, speeds up the start remarkably.

You might try bootstrap-emacs form your build.
