Colin,

You basically just need the same voodoo that Linux user's currently have
to do.  You need to generate up to date C sources from the Squeak source
and build your own VM.  My very first diary entry on Squeak People has
some very rough directions on this.  I think if you checkout the
'ned-branch' branch of the sourceforge platform sources you can ignore
the patch I mention in my diary.
