Actually, if you are able to follow the directions on fetching and
building the cvs version you _could_ do that.  It is not difficult and I
have seen no bugs in what I use.  The official release is not long in
coming.  

However, if you only want fullscreen and have no other compelling reason
to upgrade, don't.  It would be _far_ easier to simply set the geometry
in .Xdefaults.  I have:

emacs.geometry: 100x38+0+0

for a 1024x768 screen using the font setting:

emacs*font: 10x20

which fills my screen.  For some reason, maybe it is because I am not
using a window manager or desktop environment, --fullscreen does not
work.
