Actually, this is not obvious at all to me.  AFAIK the term-specific setup
file (such as term/xterm or term/x-win or term/mac-win) is loaded at the
very end, after site-start, .emacs, and default.el were loaded.

So try it with -Q.

This said, I wouldn't be surprised if building (and/or installing) doesn't
work correctly in a directory whose complete filename contains spaces and/or
non-ascii letters.

Among other things, I seem to remember a problem where some hardcoded file
names are created at dump time before the utf-8 coding system exists, so
when they get used later on, they may suffer some problems.  Please try and
diagnosticate as much as you can, and we'll then add a note about it in
PROBLEMS (at least, if that's the problem I'm thinking of, the solution is
not immediate).
