That could indeed be the case.  But never mind.  If you’re able to build the old squeak vm you’ll be able to build the OpenSmalltalk-VM one.  OpenSmalltalk-VM is a direct descendant.

In the OpenSmalltalk-VM code you’ll see build directories for the form build.<os><word size><processor>.  So, assuming you can use platforms/unix you can add build.sunos32x86 and build.sunos64x64, populated similarly to the build.linux32x86 & build.linux64x64 directories, and submit a pull request (or tar up the files and mail them to the list if you’re not au fait with git).

The mvm files are a little messy but they essentially specify compilation flags and an install name in products, products/assert and products/debug.
