This is normal behavior when you build Emacs on MSDOS.

Yes, you didn't build Emacs like the INSTALL file tells.  You should 
invoke Make like so:

	make install

and not just "make".  The `install' target creates the bin/ subdirectory, 
stubifies Emacs and moves it to bin/.  After that, Emacs should work.
