OK, more detailed information -- I unpacked a fresh copy of 21.2 as
/opt/testemacs21/emacs-21.2 along with leim, then I edited
lisp/Makefile.am to include this extra statement in the custom-deps
target:
wd=$(lisp); $(setwins); \
echo Directories: $$wins; \
$(EMACS) $(EMACSOPT) --execute '(message "LOAD-PATH: %s\n" load-path)'
After that I ran "./configure --prefix=/usr" followed "make". When
the build was finished, I cd'ed to lisp, edited cus-dep.el to include
a (message "MODIFIED CUS-DEP\n") statement at the top so I could tell
when it was being loaded, removed cus-dep.elc, and ran "make
custom-deps". The resulting output is included below in "== Section
cus-dep.log ==" -- note that the "MODIFIED CUS-DEP" message does not
appear, and note that the "LOAD-PATH: ..." message includes
/usr/share/emacs/21.2/lisp before the /opt/testemacs21/emacs-21.2/lisp
source directory.
However, if I change --prefix to /foo/bar, then the "MODIFIED CUS-DEP"
message from ./cus-dep.el shows up in the output. What's a bit
strange is that if I run strace -f, I can't see emacs loading the
/usr/share copy of cus-dep.el.

That's what I'd expected, so I'd wondered if maybe it was the
distinction between $(EMACS) and $(emacs) that made the difference
here. lisp/Makefile.in's custom-deps target uses $(EMACS), but
earlier in the Makefile we have this which seemed to suggst that might
not be right:
# The actual Emacs command run in the targets below.
emacs = EMACSLOADPATH=$(lisp) $(EMACS) $(EMACSOPT)
and since $(lisp) is the source tree lisp dir, $(emacs) prefers the
source tree's lisp directory.
Let me know if you need any more information.
Thanks
