Dumping from ./src/emacs -q

gives me this in *Messages* after the dump (although the call to
dump-emacs-portable returns without error).

eval: unsupported object type in dump: SAVE_POINTER

and this on trying to reload with

./src/emacs -q --dump-file ~/scratch/test.pdmp

Gives:

dump file is result of failed dump attempt

on the command line. On an emacs started with

./src/emacs

and running the various stuff in my .emacs, I get this:

eval: unsupported object type in dump: window configuration

Likewise, cannot restart with --dump-file. This is running on Ubuntu
16.04.3, 64 bit.
