Yes, 32bits large int pass all tests.
I use such modified VM exclusively.
All the code is maintained at
http://smalltalkhub.com/#!/~nice/NiceVMExperiments for classical VM and Cog.
I have not tested anything on Spur yet, but do not expect major problem.

It works well as is, but I'd like some improvments:
- Prevent byte-wise copy to be used in BigEndian processor
- Provide accelerated primitives for byteAt: byteAt:put: operations (I
don't remember how I implemented them currently, it's too long ago)
