--disable-jdkdir should probably do the same thing as

Currently Emacs is required even for non-Java builds, I believe if
you're building from source.
What platform are you using? If you are on a Linux or Windows
machine, why not use a pre-built binary of a snapshot release? See:
http://www.swarm.org/release-swarm-snapshot.html

The path of least resistance for you will be to install Emacs.
Really.
