Hi,

To revisit my own thread:

  http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-pretest-bug/2003-09/msg00146.html

I found out what causes the two DOC files:

Normally if you build any piece of software you use.

  ./configure
  make
  sudo make install

I build as user and then run the install target with sudo to give me
root-permissions.

Normally the make install targets checks if all dependencies are found
and then installs the files. The emacs makefiles on the other hand seem
to think the binary has not been linked yet and starts working from
there, creating a new emacs-foo, DOC-foo and a new fns-foo.el file.

So the workaround is to:

  ./configure
  sudo make install
