I have had v18 since 18.26 running on all manner of 3b's with no
problem at all.  I use it on a herd of 3b2s (300s & 400s), a few
3b15s, and a 3b20 or two.  No sweat.  I currently have the latest
released level (18.35) installed.  There were a few problems in the
vicinity of 18.26, but those problems have long since been fixed.  My
OS revision levels range from SysV 2.0.4 through SysV 3.0.  Issue 4 of
the C compiler has caused a few additional warnings, but even that was
no grief.

It should have taken no hacking at all to get it to compile.  What
version do you have?  Did you get through temacs -l loadup.el?  Was
m-att3b.h changed to attempt text/data remapping (NO_REMAP removed)?
(NO_REMAP must be left in.)  I haven't seen a bus error in GNU Emacs
on a 3b since about 17.61.
