I came across similar problems when I compiled Interviews 
3.0-beta using Saber C++ 1.0.  I had  bus error on 7 of
the source files under iv/src/bin/ibuild and 2 under iv/src/bin/idraw.

I got around the problem by changing to Sun C++ (I don't know the 
version number, it was installed in 1989 using AT&T cfront 2.0) 
to compile the files that could not be compiled by Saber C++ and 
then linked the object codes. All the object codes  are generated by
same cc compiler, so no problem happened during the linking step.

The problem with Sun C++ (the one I use) was that it could not compile
some of the files under iv/src/lib/graphic and iv/src/lib/Unidraw. 
So I couldn't get the libraries with  Sun C++ while Saber C++ happened
to  have no problem with that.
