TeX on 386/ix v.2.0.2

Hello. I am trying to compile TeX under Interactive 386/ix, v. 2.0.2,
and I am getting a strange error. (386/ix is supposed to be a SysVR3.2
UNIX). First, the version data:

TeX 2.95, tangle 2.9, plain.tex 2.94.

Anyway, I took the README file's advice and decided to go for the
Web-to-C approach. I told site.h a little bit about myself, making
sure we both understood from the outset that I'm an admitted SYSV
type. Then I kept most of the other defaults and let fly with
'make all'. After the usual miscellaneous glitches and fixes I ran
into a seemingly immovable object:

Assembler: itex.c
	aline 123  : syntax error

This occurred while the make was in the ./tex82/ctex subdirectory,
and trying to compile the machine-generated itex.c. The error seems
to be happening after the compiler passes all through
the file, judging by the warning messages that come out before
the error (it says a few lines are not reached). 

So there it is...I haven't any idea what is going on. Lint'ing
itex.c didn't tell me anything obvious, although lint does
bark quite a bit about the file. Does anybody know what is
going wrong, and what I should do? Has anyone else built TeX
under 386/ix? Do I need another version? Can I use cc, or do
I have to get and install gcc?

Thanks for any advice/flames/etc.
