OK, I still don't know what the problem is, but I at least know which
build step is causing it.  Apparently stipping the emacs binary is the
problem.  The unstripped binary works fine.  Further, strip gives some
troublesome warnings:

  $ strip emacs-20.2
  BFD: sta20186: warning: allocated section `.data' not in segment
  BFD: sta20186: warning: allocated section `.bss' not in segment

Unfortunately I don't know enough about ELF to know what this is
telling me.  Anyone?

Thanks
