Need help installing 18.58 on a Pyramid running SMP DC/OSx

I'm trying to get Emacs 18.58 up and running on a Pyramid here.
I've never installed Emacs before, and I'm not root, so I'm having
a few difficulties...

The /etc/motd of this machine identifies it as "SMP DC/OSx wrpyr4
1.0-92b023 dcosx MIServer-S 6/256 r3000".  It's some kind of Unix, but
I'm not terribly familiar with it.

All I did was copy src/config-h.dist to src/config.h and edit it to
#include "m-pyramid.h" and "s-bsd4-2.h" like the MACHINES file told me
to, and put the proper path in src/paths.h.

Then I typed 'make install', and after it compiled everything in etc,
I got:

	...
        cd src; make  all
        rm -f xmakefile junk.c
        cp ymakefile junk.c
        cc -E junk.c | sed -e 's/^#.*//' -e 's/^[
                                                        ][
                                                                ]*$//' -e 's/^ /
        /' | \
        sed -n -e '/^..*$/p' > xmakefile
        rm -f junk.c
        make    -f xmakefile  all
bad character { (octal 173), line 30 (bu40)
make: fatal error: .
*** Error code 1 (bu21)

make: fatal error.
*** Error code 1 (bu21)

make: fatal error.


I don't understand this.  Line 30 of xmakefile is:
temacs:  $ ( LOCALCPP ) $ ( SHORT ) $ ( STARTFILES ) $ ( OLDXMENU ) $ { obj } $
{ otherobj }

Could it be choking on a '{'?

This may be too specific a case for me to find much help here, but I'd
appreciate any assistance that could be offered.  I'd like to work on
this with someone who is familiar with the same setup.

Thanks!
