Use  ThreadedFFIPlugin.  The FFIPlugin is obsolete (it requires assembler
support files, and is non-reentrant).  This should generate in
src/plugins/SqueakFFIPrims/{SqueakFFIPrims.c,ARM32FFIPlugin.c,IA32FFIPlugin.c}
and you should compile only
src/plugins/SqueakFFIPrims/SqueakFFIPrims.c.
src/plugins/SqueakFFIPrims/SqueakFFIPrims.c
is a simple wrapper that includes ARM32FFIPlugin.c or IA32FFIPlugin.c as
appropriate (and others can be added as they are developed).
