Well, the changes to FilePlugin.class belong in VMMaker.oscog.
And cfileRecordSize doesn't make sense , since all pointers are of the same
size in C:

cfileRecordSize
+ "Return the size of a stdio FILE* handle"
+ <option: #PharoVM>
+ <static: false>
+ ^self sizeof: #'FILE*'

I would simple use (self sizeof: #'void *') or (self sizeof: #'FILE *').

Other than that I can't see any problems.
