I built as root, and it built and installed without a problem. I also built 
under a different user without a problem. I also discovered I couldn't run 
make even with a bootstrapped source tree in my normal user environment. If I 
gain insight into this, I will be sure and share.  Right now, I must move 
one.

I will add, Emacs launches much more quickly than the stale build I've been 
using.
