>From the file mac/INSTALL:

If you are building Emacs to run on Mac OS X and X Window, you need to
create a directory containing statically-linked X libraries.

  sudo mkdir /usr/X11R6/libstatic
  cd /usr/X11R6/libstatic
  sudo ln -s ../lib/lib*.a ../lib/X11 .

Instead of typing `./configure' above, type

  ./configure --without-carbon --with-x --x-libraries=/usr/X11R6/libstatic
