You were right. It blows up.
However a little investigation shows the only thing missing is fns-21.3.1.el. You can get it from the old 21.3 or as the others did by unpacking the new over the old.

I think this is a generated file so the fact that it does not get created with the 21.3a binary may indicate
that the problem is more than just a missing file.
But as was pointed out earlier the version on ftp.gnu.org is older than the one on http://www.crasseux.com/emacs/
even though the former was built on 2/21/2004. I was hoping to try out the new fringe bitmap support in cvs:

but I guess I will have to compile my own.
