To clarify, the missing DOC file is a problem for whoever supplied your
pre-built binary (sounds like they already know about it).

Stefan feels it is an advice.el bug that it fails to work without a DOC
file. (IMO, an Emacs missing a DOC file is basically broken, and I
imagine it is likely to fail in various ways, so I think this is only a
minor issue.)
