I bet you copied the emacs distribution from a sun-3 on which it had
already been built, and there was a "temacs" already present.  It did
not have a good "magic number" for a sun-2 so the shell tried to run
it as a shell script.  The first four bytes were hex 00 02 01 0b,
which spell a non-existant command name ^B^A^K.

Delete *all* object files and start again.
