I tried to build it:

    johayek@Hayek5 $ ./configure 
    creating cache ./config.cache
    checking whether make sets ${MAKE}... yes
    checking for a BSD compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
    checking for emacs... /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... /usr/bin/makeinfo
    updating cache ./config.cache
    creating ./config.status
    creating Makefile
    creating lisp/Makefile
    creating texi/Makefile
    johayek@Hayek5 $ make -n install
    cd lisp && make EMACS=/usr/local/bin/emacs lispdir=/share/emacs/site-lisp install

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

    make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/local/src/tmp/gnus-5.6.29/lisp'
    /usr/local/bin/emacs -batch -q -no-site-file -l ./dgnushack.el -f dgnushack-compile
    /bin/sh ../mkinstalldirs /share/emacs/site-lisp

You don't actually want to create this as installation directory, do you?

    [...]

And that's how the (generated) Makefile looks:

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

I added the `prefix = ' line to Makefile
(but actually Makefile.in and/or configure should be fixed,
but I'm not familiar with the mechanism):

    johayek@Hayek5 $ head Makefile
    # Generated automatically from Makefile.in by configure.
    prefix  = /usr/local
    lispdir = $(prefix)/share/emacs/site-lisp
    srcdir = .
..
(I have posted this problem report earlier -> 5.6.{24,27},
but people have probably been to busy then to notice this.)
