Whoops, sorry, I missed that file (I thought it was still just the OS
8/9 instructions).  

I followed the instructions on making the statically-linked X11
libraries, and configured Emacs like this:

  $ mkdir /usr/local/packages/emacs-21-2002-08-29
  $ ./configure --without-carbon --with-x --x-libraries=/usr/X11R6/libstatic 
--prefix=/usr/local/packages/emacs-21-2002-08-26

I then ran 'make bootstrap', which died here:
