>From extracts of the travis log
https://travis-ci.org/OpenSmalltalk/opensmalltalk-vm/jobs/657397531, I see
that:

- we compile with gcc

gcc -std=gnu99 -g -O2 -DNDEBUG -DDEBUGVM=0
-DI_REALLY_DONT_CARE_HOW_UNSAFE_THIS_IS -DUSE_MIDI_ALSA -DCOGMTVM=0
-Wall -pthread -DLSB_FIRST=1 -march=armv6 -mfpu=vfp -mfloat-abi=hard
-Wno-missing-braces -Wno-unknown-pragmas -Wno-unused-value
-Wno-unused-label -Wno-unused-function -Wno-unused-variable
-Wno-unused-but-set-variable  -DHAVE_CONFIG_H  -DSQUEAK_BUILTIN_PLUGIN
snip...

- it is a rather old version

$ gcc --version

gcc (Ubuntu 4.8.4-2ubuntu1~14.04.3) 4.8.4

- we do not seem to run tests for arm (would require setting up emulation
on the CI for example qemu like
