Is the package emacs21-common-non-dfsg installed on the gutsy system?
It contains the file /usr/share/emacs/21.4/etc/GNU that Emacs fails to

You can install the emacs21-common-non-dfsg package from non-free or
rebuild the package in a directory that is not NFS-mounted. If you are
the administrator of your system, of course.
