The link has been already posted in this thread:

uilding.html

However, I cannot tell you whether the version in the link is higher or
lower than 21.3. Although, the Emacs from the link worked in my case
(okay, I installed it 1 1/2 years ago).

When I am at home I will have a quick look at my ibook and look up the
Emacs version.

PS: As Peter told you: use the option "X11". I cannot exactly remember,
though, I believe it worked for me. Must be since I have a X11 version
running (no XEmacs) exactly the same as under my Ubuntu Linux.
