Ian says he committed some changes to the trunk to enable the build for alpha.

The config scripts no longer need changing, but there are still
references to sa_restore member of sigact structure.

When I tried to compile his trunk version I get the error messages in
the attached file over and over again
and the make never seems to finish.

Here is errors generated after trying to link vm.a:

(I had to make the changes to delete references to sa_restore again ) 

/home/squeak2/squeak-svn/platforms/unix/bld/libtool: line 639: : warning:
cannot infer operation mode without MODE-ARGS: command not found
/home/squeak2/squeak-svn/platforms/unix/bld/libtool: line 5163: : you must

/home/squeak2/squeak-svn/platforms/unix/bld/libtool: line 5164: Try ` --help'
formore information.: command not found
^Cmake[1]: *** [squeak] Interrupt
make: *** [all] Interrupt

it generates these errors many many times, never seems to finish the make.
