Apparently they changed their mind about the 386 being too slow 
(sort of).  I used Saber C on a Sun 386i workstation last year 
at my previous place of employment.  Of course, the 386i runs SunOS, 
so it could be that they have not ported it to the particular HW/SW 
combination of 386/SysV.

BTW: This particular 386i was a 20MHz, no coproc, 
12MB RAM configuration.

Interesting package, but kind of expensive from what I recall.
