link should of course be

/opt/sw/bin/emacs -> /Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Emacs

"sudo ln -s /Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Emacs  /opt/sw/bin/emacs”

until fink emacs builds again this may be needed to build other packages (e.g. xfig) that  
produce texinfo files on 10.15.4 or later.
