It is hard coded

~/dev/SqueakVMMaker/platforms/Mac OS % egrep -R '#\ ?error' *

vm/sqMacMain.c:#error Hi, you are building an obsolete version of the macintosh VM. 
vm/sqMacMain.c:#error Instead use the xCode projects found in the iOS folder 
vm/sqMacMain.c:#error Remove these error defines if you really need to build this obsolete 4.x VM

The Mac OS plaform branch is based on Carbon and most features used are Deprecated by
