GNU Emacs 24.3.1 in one instance, the other not older than that (can't
check the details right now).

As far as I can tell, the make fails somewhere in the 'make doc' part.
According to the quote above emacs is called with -Q.

'make autoloads' does not throw errors, and what I use of org-mode works
except for a minor and probably unrelated glitch I did not yet find time
to track down.
