I normally build just the plain old squeak/cog/spur and occasionally debug stuff. Given the absence of the -DUSE_ITIMER_HEARTBEAT=1 incantation Eliot mentioned, build.linux32ARMv6/squeak.cog.spur/mvm *should* be making the pthread timer version. The version on bintray is labelled squeak.cog.spur_linux32ARMv6_itimer_201803052012.tar.gz (for example) and I have to admit I'm not at all sure how one checks a vm to see which option it actually uses. It may simply be mislabelling of the built system?
