Well maybe that just means you know more about swing-sets
than gcc. In fact building emacs from sources is quite easy.
Until recently all our customers did this routinely, since
that's the way emacs is distributed. We have recently started
to provide binary builds of EMACS, and will eventually provide
binary builds of GLIDE. This is not so much because they are
hard to build, as to make it more convenient to be absolutely
sure you are working with the official supported version.
