Worked fine on Intel Linux 32 bit. That's all I've tried so far.
Excellent, thanks for testing it Dave.
Interim update on building 64 bit VMs with the latest VMM/SVN:
Unfortunately I have not been able to build a working 64 VM yet. I'm using VMMaker-tpr.39 (loaded from Squeak Map), SVN 1282, plus my local patches (attached for reference). The OS is 32 bit Intel Linux.
I was previously able to build a 64 bit VM with VMMaker-tpr.37 and SVN 1259, with the same local patches.
Hmm, sadly not something I can be of much help with; no linux machine etc. All I can say is that *very* little changed between .37 and .39 that I could imagine having any such effect. Um, well diff is your reasonably polite acquaintance I think.
I am building the 64 bit VM with internal plugins BalloonEnginePlugin, BitBltSimulation, FilePlugin, and SocketPlugin, and no external plugins. The resulting VM crashes with a segfault after entering the interpreter and opening the display. This is using a 64 bit image that does open successfully with my earlier 64 bit VM (VMMaker-tpr.37/SVN 1259).
Also note, VMMaker versionString => '3.8b4' should be '3.8b5-64'.
D'oh.
More to follow when I get it figured out.

Attachments (in zip file):
platforms-win32-plugins-FilePlugin-sqWin32FilePrims.c.diff - Change Win32 FilePlugin to use session ID from the interpreter rather than generate its own value (for consistency, and also so as not to break OSPP for Win32).
platforms-Cross-vm-sqMemoryAccess.h.diff - Add missing memory access macros (the inline functions are complete, but some of the corresponding macros are missing).
OK, I knew we had skipped some but hadn't had any problems as such.
platforms-unix-vm-sqUnixExternalPrims.c.diff - Provide meaningful console error message if an external module (e.g. vm-display-X11) fails to load.
platforms-unix-config-config.h.in.diff - Add a definition to unix/ config/config.in to #define SQAIO_H "sqaio.h" due to renaming aio.h to sqaio.h. Permits OSPP and AIO plugins to be backward compatible with older source trees. (Note to Tim: RiscOS uses a copy of aio.h in its platform tree, should sqaio.h be moved to Cross?)
It does? Gosh, I had no idea. Let me see what to do about that.
