If you get a binary RPM, you don't need to compile it. It comes
pre-compiled. Ditto for Emacs.

These errors mean your Linux system isn't set up correctly to compile
programs. /usr/include/bits is supposed to contain kernel-specific
headers; sometimes (but not always) it's a symbolic link into the
/usr/src/linux/include directory.
I don't know much about RedHat distros anymore; you'll have to find
someone who can advise you about your Linux installation before you can
compile GNU make (or almost any other program).
