Here's one guess. About a month ago, Glenn Morris made a change to configure.in to fix a conjectured problem with using terminfo on netbsd: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2012-04/msg00906.html This change was included in pretest 24.0.97. That may be why the build stopped working for you after 24.0.96. Can you revert the change described in the above link, and see if that fixes the build? If so, we can revert the change for the 24.1 release.
