0. git clone git://git.savannah.gnu.org/emacs.git $HOME/emacs
1. git checkout -b dev
2. ./autogen.sh ; ./configure ; make -j4
3. alias emacs=$HOME/emacs/src/emacs
4. Live out your dreams

Apart from betraying a fundamental misunderstanding about UNIX's reification
of installed binaries, your dream scenario couldn't realize anyway because
apparently you lack the system privileges to even `make install` (which is a
crucial but missing step in your previous message).

This, I think, is one of the unspoken benefits of keeping emacs development
via mailing list patches and debbugs as arcane and awkward as possible.
