I tried to build the sources and ran into a couple problems. first it was trying to use decgcc. Fixed that in the configure script.
SqMain.c (i think) was trying to include sys/proc.h and I don't have that file.

Dear god, man! where did you find such an incredible piece of hardware?
I feel like you're trying to drive me to drinking by reminding me yet again of how beautiful CPUs could have been but aren't. =(

(slowly getting off-topic here :-) )
Is it only the x86 architecture that is ugly? I found the ARM and MIPS instruction set quite nice. The ES-40 looks like a rather large piece of equipment to have in your living room.
My latest materialistic desire: http://www.alwaysinnovating.com/ - the TouchBook, which is based on the BeagleBoard and runs Linux. It uses an ARM CPU with a Cortex-A8 core; it includes support for the Thumb-EE instruction set which is specifically designed for running code generated by JIT compilers. There's potential there.

Realistically though, I have no use for it and Squeak runs fine on my old celeron-based desktop.

Bleh,
I'm only in the market for workstations.
Intel seems to have some mafia-like control over the chip industry and has locked out all other ISA's from the workstation market, at any sane price-point at least.
Last time I went shopping for an Alpha, I was quoted a price of $11,000 =(((((
Even still, much of the stuff on that board was out of date. =(
Now they don't even exist. =((
I bought my Alpha for $750 on Ebay. has 4 cpu ev67, 4GB ram

You will find this #include directive in platforms/unix/vm/sqUnixMain.c, which includes the proc.h header #if defined(__alpha__). Given that the build procedure was also trying to use a DEC compiler, my guess is that the the configure/make is trying to build for some other flavor of unix on alpha. You may just need to convince the configure script that you want to use a generic gnu linux running on Alpha.
You may want to ask your question on the vm-dev mailing list (http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/vm-dev), where someone more knowledgable can tell you if I'm guessing right. In any case, any updates to support alpha hardware will certainly be welcome.
