This does not directly answer your question, but for what it's worth
a 64-bit interpreter VM on Linux includes the plugin. I do not know
if it works correctly, but it certainly can be compiled:

lewis at lewis-Gazelle-Pro:/usr/local/lib/squeak/4.16.5-3765$ file *3D*
so.B3DAcceleratorPlugin: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, BuildID[sha1]=5f8e5a465e57ada5ddd21ff03d6346d413727394, not stripped
so.Squeak3D:             ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, BuildID[sha1]=1e0aaac558f5ded46aec16c2b0158c246536c7a1, not stripped


This means that the plugin should also be buildable on Cog/Spur.
I can't help with Windows VM builds, but I see no reason that it
would not work on 32-bit Windows, and possibly 64-bit windows also.

Maybe someone with a Windows build environment can confirm?
