Syntax error when attempting to load FFI-md.12.mcz into Squeak3.9-final-7067 image

I'm attempting to do some updating of VMMaker. It seemed obvious to  
start from the nominally stable current image, which would appear to  
be Squeak3.9-final-7067. This does not include the FFI package  
(though the class categories are in the brower) so I looked in the  
list of repositories mentioned in the MC Browser and found  
source.squeakfoundation.org/39a -> FFI-md.12.mcz.

On attempting to load it, I get a syntax error within FFITester  
class>ffiPrintString: because the compiler does not like the cdecl  
pragma. I'm guessing (purely guessing at this stage) that this might  
be because the relvent compiler changes have not been installed at  
this point.

At which point did I go wrong? Choice of image? Repository? Package?  
Side of bed to get out of?
