You run-in-place because you're just building/installing on one machine, so make install is pointless. Now you want to use it. So you symlink /usr/local/bin/xemacs -> ..../src/xemacs. That's fine, but what about gnuclient, etags, etc? Seems to me it makes perfect sense that you want symlinks for them too. Is run-in-place supposed to be useful? If so, should gnuclient work? If so you either have symlinks or else add lots of strange stuff to your path. I think most people (or at least many) would prefer the symlinks.
