Hi,
*21.5 build.*
After a make install performed by root the following files are also
owned by root. At least the auto-loads-files and the finder-inf causes
problems for the next user build. If possible make install should not
create or touch any files that the normal build needs to have rights
to.
find -user root
./lisp/auto-autoloads.el
./lisp/finder-inf.el
./lisp/finder-inf.elc
./lisp/auto-autoloads.el~
./lisp/finder-inf.el~
./lisp/mule/auto-autoloads.el
./lisp/mule/auto-autoloads.el~
./src/REBUILD_AUTO-LOADS

Absolutely. The make install of xemacs is broken. It should only install,
not compile stuff. This is extremely annoying if you try to nfs mount the
source and do install.

Yes 'make install' is broken, but not because it compiles stuff. It
is broken because it unconditionally compiles stuff. The 'install'
target _should_ compile things, but only things that, as yet, have not
been compiled. In other words, you should be able to:
make distclean
./configure
make install
But if everything has already been built from a previous 'make', then
'make install' should just install and nothing else.

Good to know I'm not crazy/senile. I ran into this same problem, there
hasn't been any resolution yet (though it looks like rebuilding finder-inf.el
before doing the mass byte-compile is the answer - I've not hacked up the
makefile to test this yet....)

Removing the offending files works well but a real solutions is of
course the way to go.
