Hmm... any particular reason you're trying to use the FreeBSD stuff? I
just downloaded the distribution from prep.ai.mit.edu, untarred, ran
configure, then gmake, and everything worked without a hitch. Emacs 19.34,
20.2, and some older version that I forget, probably 19.31.

Anyways, I don't know how the FreeBSD ports thing has stuff setup, but try
looking for a lib-src/Makefile. If there's an INSTALL_STRIP = -s or
something like that, change it to be INSTALL_STRIP =

Then try gmake install again... good luck!
