Doing ./configure && make under Ubuntu Linux, last few lines are 

 load("progmodes/prog-mode")
  load("loadup.el")
Eager macro-expansion failure: (void-function define-short-documentation-group)
make[2]: *** [Makefile:924: bootstrap-emacs.pdmp] Error 255
make[2]: Leaving directory '/mnt/ssd/home/esr/src/emacs/src'

followed by make failure boilerplate.

I cannot reproduce this.  I've just checked out a fresh clone and
built it, and it passed the loadup step with no problems.

Are you building from a clean tree?  Did you indeed use "./configure"
with no options (I did), and if not, please show the options you used.

P.S. I'm not on Ubuntu, if it matters, I'm on Trisquel.
