May I suggest that you use John's Gnuify Smalltalk code that is included in
the Cog VMMaker branch?  That's why in the Cog sources you seee.g. both
spurstacksrc/vm/interp.c and  spurstacksrc/vm/gcc3x-interp.c, the latter
having been generted using John's Gnuify class in VMMaker.

Which is a pain ;-)
