I've followed your recipe exactly. The emacs is the recent one:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
C-h C-a
GNU Emacs 26.0.50 (build 1, x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.20.9)
 of 2017-03-14

M-& which emacs
/home/albinmic/bin/emacs

M-& ls -l `which emacs`
lrwxrwxrwx 1 albinmic albinmic 34 Mär 14 09:36 /home/albinmic/bin/emacs -> /home/albinmic/src/emacs/src/emacs

M-& ls -l /home/albinmic/src/emacs/src/emacs
-rwxrwxr-x 3 albinmic albinmic 56720584 Mär 14 08:43 /home/albinmic/src/emacs/src/emacs

M-& emacs -Q
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

It comes up. So I don't know why it doesn't work for you :-(

Best regards, Micahel.
