   Has anyone had problems compiling gnu-emacs (in this case 18.52) on
   Suns?... Are there any special things to consider for compiling on
   a sparcstation?

I don't recall any problems with 18.52, but you might try upgrading to the
current version (18.55) just to be sure.  In src/config.h, you should use
s-sunos4.h and m-sparc.h.  You may need to increase PURESIZE if you use
the interfaces to Suntools, X, or NeWS.  A Sparcstation (this one, at
least) runs the same user binaries (Emacs, at least) as any other Sun-4.
