Try

M-x horizontal-scroll-bar-mode

That function is not interactive. You need to evaluate

(horizontal-scroll-bars-available-p)

to see its result.

> Do I have to build emacs from source to get it?

Possibly. horizontal-scroll-bars-available-p returns nil on my build
configured with

--without-toolkit-scroll-bars --with-x-toolkit=lucid
