I never thought of this case, but it makes sense. I don't think it's
high priority, but it would be good to make it use BUILD/src/emacs if it
can't find it in the install location or in the PATH.

I am saying that IMO things are fine the way they are.
Can you please explain why they are fine as they are?
If someone wants to change them, that person needs to justify the
need for a change.
I already justified it, the rest of Emacs behabes correctly without
doing `make install' or adding things to PATH, emacsclient does not.

That's normal, emacsclient will try to start "emacs --daemon", if
you don't have emacs in your PATH, it won't be able to find it.
IMO it won't be a good idea to try to exec ../src/emacs.
Could you explain why you do not think that this would be a good idea?
We already do this for elisp files, and any aux. program like
movemail.

It should be there already.

Can you please describe what you do step by step?
I can't reproduce it here.
emacsclient never looks in BUILD/src for emacs, so if you do:
emacs/lib-src/emacsclient -a "" -t
emacsclient will fail with:
ams@beryx:~$ emacs/lib-src/emacsclient -a "" -t
emacs/lib-src/emacsclient: can't find socket; have you started the server?
To start the server in Emacs, type "M-x server-start".
emacs/lib-src/emacsclient: error starting emacs daemon
Emacs daemon should have started, trying to connect again
emacs/lib-src/emacsclient: can't find socket; have you started the server?
To start the server in Emacs, type "M-x server-start".
Error: Cannot connect even after starting the Emacs daemon
I.e. you have to have BUILD/src in your PATH, or do make instal (which
will put emacs in bindir/emacs and emacsclient looks there).
Another problem I found, but cannot reproduce anymore is that for some
odd reason emacs started looking for all the elisp files in
/usr/local. But I have been unable to reproduce, so I think it was
just something on my side.

There was a typo in the code that made the info about the empty
string not appear, it should be fixed now.
The argument to -a is not optional, neither are the arguments for
-d -f -s (which are documented in the same way as -a in --help).
What needs to be done to make that clearer?
I think a simple note stating that it has to be the empty string would
be fine.
