Yes, emacs-25 branch builds (adopting the work around 'echo 0 | sudo tee 
/proc/sys/kernel/randomize_va_space' before to start the build) but I do 
not use these builds in X,

$ /opt/emacs/bin/emacs

starts Emacs in the WSL terminal (aka DOS command prompt window in W10). 
It seems to work fine.. but have found an issue with the packages 
manager. See: 
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnu-emacs/2016-12/msg00777.html.

Have you tried to use your builds in terminal mode (noX)?
