Sorry about the wrong info: I was looking at this from "etc/PROBLEM":
* Emacs binary is not in executable format, and cannot be run.
This was reported to happen when Emacs is built in a directory mounted
via NFS. Usually, the file `emacs' produced in these cases is full of
binary null characters, and the `file' utility says:
emacs: ASCII text, with no line terminators
We don't know what exactly causes this failure. A work-around is to
build Emacs in a directory on a local disk.
with regards,
