I think it is very difficult to give a good
answer *in general*... Isn't there a tutorial
somewhere how to compile Emacs? Or even better,
a script that figures it out for you :)

I'm going to compile the latest version right
now because I have an issue with Gnus and
SSL/TLS, and got the suggestion I upgrade
Emacs, so if that makes me any wiser with
respect to this question I'll get back with
details :)
