Below my workflow building a fresh Emacs from trunk:

git clone git://git.savannah.gnu.org/emacs.git

This creates a directory called emacs

Make a copy with current date in its name, so older one might be kept:

    cp -pur emacs emacs-$(date +%Y%m%d)
    cd emacs-$(date +%Y%m%d)
    source ./autogen.sh
    ./configure --with-mailutils --with-modules
    make -k

Watch the output of "configure" for possible missing libraries, notably 
image-manipulation stuff. Some examples from previous installs:

libc6-dev
libffi-dev
libgif-dev
libgif71
libgmp-dev
libjpeg
