I tried It. The error happens doing just configure ....; make 

But I have noticed something weird at the end of the creation of config.status
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
../../../build-aux/move-if-change: line 69: cmp: command not found
config.status: executing etc-refcards-emacsver.tex commands

configure: WARNING: unrecognized options: --without-makeinfo
configure: You might want to install GNU Mailutils
<https://mailutils.org> and use '../configure --with-mailutils'.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Does this cmp command could be the cause?

Also this chroot has not git installed (Should It still wait for git?)

And finally makeinfo was called (on the release tarball):
