The Makefile should be there: Configure.make creates two makefiles in
the build directory: "SqueakCompiler.make" and "Squeak.make".
(The sources are generated from 2.8 + macSourceUpdates294-JMM.1.cs + 
Jitter-Updates)

Squeak.make builds a gnuified non-jitter interpreter. 

 '45519203 bytecodes/sec; 1421075 sends/sec' CW
 '45649072 bytecodes/sec; 1360653 sends/sec' gnuified MPW/gcc

(G4 450Mhz)

There is a gcc 2.3.3 for 68k: ftp://ftp.cygnus.com/pub/mac/m68k/  
(But I haven't tried to compile Squeak with it).
