I'm not sure we should care about overflowing the pure space in
pdumped Emacs.  Why does it matter?  It mattered in unexec'ed Emacs,
that's why we warned about it.  Maybe the right solution is to remove
the warning from startup.el instead.

Sorry for the false alarm then.  I took the startup warning at face
value; I didn't see anything in (elisp)Pure Storage suggesting that the
portable dumper invalidated it.

Had I tried to run garbage-collect manually, I would have noticed that
the return value was non-nil, suggesting that GC wasn't disabled…

We should probably consider just removing the pure space mechanism at some point.
