Subject: Missing files in build

I updated from master a few days ago, copied the whole directory tree,
and tried to build Emacs there.  I got this error message:

charsets directory not found:
/usr/local/share/emacs/27.0.50/etc/charsets
Emacs will not function correctly without the character map files.

What files are supposed to be in that directory, and what is supposed to put
them there?

I am NOT going to install the Emacs I build.
I am going to run it in the build directory.
That should not require installing any files it depends on.
