AFAIK only the mac vm supports Alien.
More correctly, Alien fully supports only IA32. The data manipulation part of Alien is cross-platform. Call-out and call-back support only exists for IA32, although callback support is pretty easy to provide for all platforms. Michael Haupt is looking at extracting the cross-platform part, so that should be available generally. I'm looking at integrating Alien marshaling with the FFI and at supporting Alien style callbacks. In any case it is not a lot of work to get this stuff done.
I mean there's no vm with Alien support available for windows and unix/linux.
