I tried to build it:

    johayek@Hayek5 $ ./configure --cache-file=/usr/local/config.cache
    loading cache /usr/local/config.cache
    checking whether make sets ${MAKE}... (cached) yes
    checking for a BSD compatible install... (cached) /usr/bin/install -c
    checking for emacs... (cached) /usr/local/bin/emacs
    checking where .elc files should go... $(prefix)/share/emacs/site-lisp

that's where the problem started, I assume -> `$(prefix)'

    checking for makeinfo... (cached) /usr/bin/makeinfo
    creating ./config.status
    creating Makefile
    creating lisp/Makefile
    creating texi/Makefile
    johayek@Hayek5 $ make
    cd lisp && make EMACS=/usr/local/bin/emacs lispdir=/share/emacs/site-lisp all
    [...]

the lispdir is not quite appropriate,
and that's how the Makefile looks:

    johayek@Hayek5 $ head Makefile
    # Generated automatically from Makefile.in by configure.
    lispdir = $(prefix)/share/emacs/site-lisp
    srcdir = .

I personally made it then to look like, but ...:

    johayek@Hayek5 $ head Makefile
    # Generated automatically from Makefile.in by configure.
    prefix  = /usr/local
    lispdir = $(prefix)/share/emacs/site-lisp
    srcdir = .
