It's very hard to guess what the problem might be from just that
information.  You might like to check whether your shell start-up
files have set environment variables such as CFLAGS, CCFLAGS, and
LDFLAGS.  This can confuse the build process.

Since I already have checked the current version does build, the only
other suggestion I have is to start afresh.  Perhaps first try:

  make distclean
  ./configure --without-x
  make bootstrap

If that doesn't work, try deleting the entire directory, fetching
Emacs again from CVS and try:

  ./configure --without-x
  make bootstrap

Also if you have access to another machine, try building Emacs on
that.
