You’re removing things to find out what’s essential, I take it? Pulling things out until something breaks?

You don’t see it In the GUI. Do you see B3DAcceleratorPlugin in /home/kend/SqueakVM/src/plugins.ext? I expect you will, as it’s clearly trying to compile it.

Because it’s trying to build the B3DAcceleratorPlugin. 

I think regardless of this plugin, you’ll need gl.h.
You’ll need a graphics library. I usually just execute the following in Linux and forget about it. 
(See the last line)

apt-get install lib32z1-dev -y	# install 32-bit libs
apt-get install libsm-dev:i386	# for Squeak vm
apt-get install libglu1-mesa:i386	# X11 for Squeak
apt-get install uuid-dev:i386	# for Squeak vm
apt-get install mesa-common-dev:i386 # add gl.h  

And you’re compiling to 32-bit, right? For the Interpreter that is by far the more common path. 
I always say this, but this is fun:

FWIW,
