OK, I got the emacs-21.3 up and running, by making sure that /usr/gnu/bin is
in my path before /bin (in order to get a working version of tar!), and using:

./configure --without-gcc

So it works, but Ctrl-G does not work over my Putty sessions to it. I'm not
sure if it's a keyboard and xterm setting issue, or it's a general flaw in
that compilation of Emacs, or what.

For various reasons, I'd also like to compile it statically instead of with
shared libraries, to ease porting it over to another box without the same
graphical libraries available. Has anyone gone through this?
