Did configure or "make all" failed?  Which error message did you get?
If it's configure, can you double check that you didn't get a warning
telling that the Century fonts miss Cyrillic characters?  This story
sounds like it results from the fix to

As a rule of thumb, when a build fails and you don't see an obvious fix,
first check for warnings in configure output (rerun it if you have lost
its output).

If fontconfig has trouble finding Century fonts, you can always specify
--with-ncsb-dir, so you don't have to resort to put the fonts in mf/out.
But IIRC configure won't accept NCSB fonts that only have Latin
characters.
