OK. I call make with
PATH=~/path/to/emacs-25/src:$PATH make -k
, and I've inserted a "-Q" into the definition of EMACS in GNUMakefile.
But I get a near infinite number of errors like:
Error loading autoloads: (file-error Cannot open load file No such
file or directory tex-site)
, always complaining about the one file tex-site. tex-site.el is in the
auctex package. Have you any notion as to why so many files are trying
to load tex-site.el/c, and why they're not finding it?

Funnily enough, my make -k bailed out about 15% of the way through the
build. I'll need to look at that.
