   I think you need version 19.  Version 18 doesn't support '386 chips
   without major hacking.  (At least this was my conclusion when I put
   emacs on my 386 Unix box 4 months ago.

Version 18.59 had explicit support for 386bsd which was partly built
on support for other i386 UNIX flavours.  Version 19 is easier to
configure tho'.
