Good and bad news:

Good: I finally could download the trunk form another
place. I think I did my homework in installing all the necessary tools
on this machine (that is not the one where I compiled the official emacs
24 version). I installed automake and autoconf, and run 
(I am on Kubuntu)

sudo apt-get build-dep emacs 

./configure went through. 


Bad: 

Make broke down with the following error
