Sorry, I don't know what is causing this.

All of the images that you are interested in are 32 bit images. You are
trying to build a VM for 64 bit host hardware that will run the existing
32 bit images. If you try to run a 64 bit image on either 32 bit or
64 bit host hardware, you will see the above error message.

Start with any working Squeak on any operating system, and use it to
load VMMaker. That image will run on *any* platform, regardless of OS,
regardless of 64/32 bit stuff. You can use it to generate the sources
that you need, then compile on your target platform (configure/make on
your AMD 64 system).
