OK. I understood the difference as you mentioned I'm not sure my
terminal isn't good though.

You mean it needs to try to do entire build process in another
Emacs or so, right?
I tried building, make distclean, configure and make bootstrap,
as well but didn't go well again.
> If this fails again, then it's likely that there is some
failure in the build system. It could be in configure and
some other GNU Emacs related files, or it is in your FreeBSD
system. Although I am not using FreeBSD but Mac OS X, which
is a bit related to FreeBSD or NetBSD, you can send me your
config.log file (pay attention here: it could be very small,
1...2 KB, then I would need the config.log~ file with more
than 1 MB size) /privately/ and I can try to examine it and
find a possible cause.
OK. I'll send it to you. Thanks for your help.

Yes, like below.
% ls -la ~/download/emacs/doc/emacs/emacs.texi
