There is a version of jove available for anonymous FTP on neat.cs.toronto.edu
(128.100.1.65, across town).  That version does run on 4d machines.

I looked around in our source directory; we are running essentially what the
etc/MACHINES file recommends, but additional changes have been made in
config.h and sysdep.c to enable job control (a BSD_JOBCTRL define was added).
temacs was dumping core in index() but a 10 line version in C was added which
fixed the problem.  Making sure that was all would require more careful
scrutiny.
