How about if you try cloning afresh into a new directory in a different 
filesystem? Something like the following. The 'git clone' will take a 
while but if this doesn't work then we can try to figure out why:

cd /tmp
mkdir d
cd d
git clone -b emacs-26 git://git.sv.gnu.org/emacs.git
cd emacs
./autogen.sh
mkdir build-26
cd build-26
../configure --with-dbus --with-gif --with-jpeg --with-png --with-rsvg 
--with-tiff --with-xft --with-xpm --with-x-toolkit=gtk3 --with-xwidgets 
--with-modules --with-mailutils 'CFLAGS=-O2 -g0'
LC_ALL=C make

Also, please check your environment (run the 'env' command) to see if 
there's something funny in your PATH, or something like that. For 
example, you should be running git 2.19.1, make 4.2.1, gcc 8.2.1 20181011.
