For me it was consistent success with emacs installed, consistent
failure with emacs removed. This was independent of filesystem type,
ext3 failed in exactly the same manner as xfs.
The failure looked like this:
+ make
cd lisp && make EMACS="emacs"
lispdir="/var/tmp/emacs-20.7-root/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp" all
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/redhat/BUILD/emacs-20.7/gnus-5.8.8/lisp'
rm -f *.elc
W3DIR=no lispdir=/var/tmp/emacs-20.7-root/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp srcdir=.
emacs -batch -q -no-site-file -l ./dgnushack.el -f dgnushack-compile
/bin/sh: emacs: command not found
make[1]: *** [all] Error 127
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/redhat/BUILD/emacs-20.7/gnus-5.8.8/lisp'
make: *** [lick] Error 2
error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.26560 (%install)
And this is on a machine which build emacs correctly when an emacs
package was installed.

If you look at the failure output, are you getting a message saying the
command emacs was not found? A few lines up in the output it is setting
the path:
PATH=/var/tmp/emacs-20.7-root/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/home/tulip15/lord/bin:/usr/local/bin/ptools:/sbin:/usr/sbin:.
this is the path on my machine, the first of those directories has an
emacs binary in it. I do not know why it does not find it though, and as
I said, for me, it does not matter which fs type I am using, if I have
emacs packages installed it finds the binary and works.
