   I wish to compile GNU-Emacs on a System V AT&T 3b20.  Do I need a

   which would work?

When you get GNU Emacs, you get the source to everything you need.  If
you want to think of it this way, you get both a lisp interpreter and
a huge pile of code that implements a user environment (that sometimes
behaves like a text editor :-).

But you can even ignore the fact that there's Lisp involved if you
want to.  After the distribution is configured correctly, just say
"make" and away it goes.
