It's finding old .elc files, so this is not a clean tree.  Try saying
"make bootstrap" and see what happens then.

That's even weirder, because that a bug that was fixed a long time ago.

I don't know what's going on in your tree, but just as a sanity check:
Can you try to just do

git clone git://git.savannah.gnu.org/emacs.git
cd emacs
make

and see what happens?
