so, even if it doesn't works for Raspberry Pi it will be much less work
by just adding yet another config in CMakeVMMaker package comparing to implementing whole thing from scratch.
(Btw, i remember there was work on building Cog Stack VM on Raspberry Pi, but i don't know details in what state it is. @JB, care to share)?

I’m seriously not interested in delving into the insanity of either automake nor cmake; my experiences thus far have left scars. So, in order to avoid pain whilst getting a Cog/stackvm build system that gets reasonably close to that in place for the plain interpreter (see squeakvm.org) - with a side aim of eventually merging - I am offering some money.
For someone that actually knows this stuff I suspect it is an easy, if perhaps long-winded, job. The acceptance test that determines when payment can be made would be a) Eliot & Ian agreeing that it is good enough to replace the auto-blargh horror that is currently in use (that’s a pretty high bar) and b) successful addition of the Raspberry Pi faster-blt code to the cog/stack build, as with the current plain interpreter build
