I think that's the problem: installing the binary in a directory other
than $execdir/bin needs to configure with --bindir accordingly set.
Emacs built with native compilation records at build time the way to
get to native-lisp/ directory starting from the directory where the
Emacs binary is installed, so you must use --bindir at configure time
to let the build process know where the binary will be installed.  It
is no longer enough to set bindir only at "make install" time.

Emacs 28.1, as released, could work without --bindir, but that was at
a price of effectively dropping the support for --bindir
configure-time switch, something I don't want to do, since it's a
regression.

So please try re-configuring with

  ./configure CFLAGS='-O8' --bindir=/usr/local/sbin/emacs-29.0.50 
--with-mailutils --with-cairo --with-native-compilation

and tell if the problem is solved by that after you install the
resulting binary.

Thanks.
