Alas both Win32 and Unix have their own different ideas as to what a minimal setjmp/longjmp is (see sigsetjmp(3) on unix). In my VMMaker the defines are generated in CoInterpreter class>>preambleCCode and NewspeakInterpreter class>preambleCCode. Looks like the CoInterpreter one needs moving up to StackInterpreter right?

I guess so. Since these macros are used in stack vm as well.
And what about recordPrimTraceFunc() is my guess are correct that it
should be used with
#if COGVM
instead of
#if STACKVM
?
