This is a bug, so please file a bug report against emacs.

The policy concerning /usr/local has been changed. The package may create
empty directories below /usr/local, but it must not fail if this is
impossible (because /usr/local is mounted read-only).

This new policy already described in the draft version 2.2.0.0, which will
become "official" in the next few days. You can have a look at it via

Feel free to ask, if you need more info.


Thanks,

Chris
