I'm trying to build the VM with a C compiler which does not accept implicit function declarations or implici int.
This is in preparation for a future change in GCC and Clang defaults. More information is here:

(The second link points to a container image with an instrumented GCC that can be used for experiments, or you can just inject -Werror=implicit-function-declaration -Werror=implicit-int into the build, which has the same results if compiler flags injection works reliably throughout the build environment.)
According to Fedora's records Squeak-4.10.2.2614-src-no-mp3 was downloaded from http://squeakvm.org/unix/release/.
This is the traditional Squeak VM, which is useful for Squeak images up through Squeak 4.6. This VM is hosted at http://squeakvm.org. Newer and current Squeak images use the opensmalltalk-vm VM, which is hosted at https://github.com/OpenSmalltalk/opensmalltalk-vm.
Recently we had some work under way to update the Debian distribution, which currently has only the older traditional Squeak VM, so that the installed VMs on Debian would include both the older and newer VMs. This would enable users to run various Squeak images without worrying about what VM to select. The work is incomplete and I don't know if it will ever be finished, but the basic package strategy would presumably be similar for RH and Debian.
I am attaching a script that you can use to pull the latest sources for the traditional VM, and create a source tarball. This is the tarball that we were using for the Debian package update (unfinished) and it would give you a set of up to date sources that would probably be suitable for RH also. You will need to install Subversion, then just run the script in a clean directory to produce the source tar Squeak-4.19.15-3822-src.tar.gz.
For reference, the script comes from the Subversion repository at http://squeakvm.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/squeak/trunk/platforms/unix/cmake/mku...
General information on building the VM for unix is at https://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/6354.
HTH, Dave
