Also, with the #elif change in place, make runs to completion. I'm not
sure how well the resulting VM works yet. Running this:

  ./squeak -vm-sound-null -vm-display-null Squeak4.4.image 3+4.st

where 3+4.st is

FileStream stdout nextPutAll: (3 + 4) printString; flush.

results in something saying "CHECKING squeakvm", but nothing
completes, and I get no output. That might be just because I don't
know what I'm doing.
