In practice, all the people using the simulator have images that were built
when Eliot's script was working, and we update the image with the new
VMMaker code but don't rebuild them. I know its not good but we had to keep
things working with limited ressources.


This seems to be an issue (problems building a good VMMaker image) that
I've run into several times and others likely have as well.  This is
understandable since you folks are moving fast.  Something the Squeak and
Pharo teams might want to consider when doing a release is to also create a
snapshot VMMaker image (i.e. this is what we used to build this release) so
people like myself who aren't intimately familiar with VM development can
easily get to the last known working/stable version of it for just
building/debugging.

Thanks,
Phil
