Thanks a lot for your kind words about my repeated attempts to find an
agreeable solution of this problem.

Well, it doesn't seem to work.  Here's what I did to test it (on a
GNU/Linux machine):

  . unpack emacs-23.0.91 pretest tarball
  . replace the top-level Makefile.in with the one from today's CVS
  . verify by `diff' that Makefile.in indeed has your changes
  . ./configure --without-x && make

Excerpts from the resulting build session are below (the omitted parts
are marked with "[...]"); they still show that many Lisp files are
recompiled, after building bootstrap-emacs.

Did I perhaps need to copy more files from CVS?

Also note this error message:

  /bin/sh: line 6: cd: src: No such file or directory

It probably means that something else is wrong with your changes.
