I just did an update and now everything compiles and runs out of the box. A 
great convinience improvement! :) Thanks Ian.
The resulting vm is labled now as Squeak3.6beta. The DOUBLE_WORD_ORDER [1] 
problem and the missing linker option -lGL [2] are fixed. The recent 
x11SelectionFix [3] from Ned is not in there yet. 

Beginning with 3.5 an alternative mechanism is available to dynamically 
construct callouts to C code at runtime for some platforms [4]. These 
apicalls should work without libffi using hardware specific code. Although 
the tests in SqueakFFIPrims all pass sucessfully and the right assembler file 
and support/test code gets compiled and linked into the vm, the image side 
tests all fail (FFITester¹, X11). This happend with 3.5-1devel too, so this 
bug didn't came with the latest updates.

While I was at it I loaded the new ephemerons [5] package from SM and the vm 
builds fine and all the tests pass except the one [6] John mentioned.

The detailed list of unix vm changes is at [7].

¹ Yes, I checked that ffi-test.o gets build and linked
