One thing that sometimes happens is that compiled elisp (.elc) files
come with the distribution, and these aren't portable.  Try removing
them from lisp/ and re-byte-compiling them, then rebuilding emacs.  To
do this, you may find the following alias (shellscript if you must)
useful:

  alias elc 'emacs -batch -f batch-byte-compile \!*'

The part in single quotes runs emacs as a "batch" job (no screen i/o).
You might want to run the function byte-recompile-directory instead to
get a sholw directory's worth of files.  Also, it would probably pay
to byte-compile bytecomp.el itself first.
