Emacs 24.1 won't compile

[Marcin Borkowski]

Hi all,

I tried to compile Emacs 24.1.  I cloned the Git repository, checked out
the emacs-24.1 branch, did ./autogen.sh and ./configure (both
succeeded), but make threw an error.  Here's the output (not from the
first time I ran it):

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---

autoheader )

What do I do?
