But there does appear to be a build folder for it in the official repo (https://github.com/OpenSmalltalk/opensmalltalk-vm/tree/Cog/build.linux64ARMv8)

The stack build should be supported.  On Thursday & Friday I also got past the issue that was blocking progress on the ARMv8 JIT, so I hope to provide a production JIT version by April (the work is only partially funded).  “Supported” is an interesting phrase.  What does it mean when vm work, just like the rest of the image work, is essentially unfunded?
