VMMaker-tpr.37, which I got from Tim Rowledge's site:
http://www.rowledge.org/tim/squeak/SqFiles/packages/VMMaker/
as described in
http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/pipermail/squeak-dev/2005-July/093172.html
That's in the earlier (July) threads "memory and VM issues."

gives the success recipe. Most of the steps are in the earlier
message that this one quotes.

Yes. There may be other work going on too.
Another route is to attempt to build off a known good state, rather
than the leading edge. You could start with one of the Unix tarballs,
for example.
