I recognise that error message, I think it's the same issue as this:
http://build.squeak.org/job/CogVM/503/console
It's a minor problem, just a missing initialization when you are loading VMMaker.oscog into a fresh Squeak image.
Eliot, I'm not sure what the initialization should be but I expect it will be obvious if you load into a fresh Squeak. I'm away and can't check it now, but I think there is a ProcessClass variable that needs to be set (in Cogit IIRC), and there is an options dictionary that may require initialization.

>>Which process do you mean? I'm compiling Cog all the time.
Hi Eliot.
VMMaker generateConfiguration choose Squeak Cog VM
Debugger "Undefined Object does not understand basicNew." at
ancilliaryClasses: options at line:
ProcessorClass basicNew abstractInstructionCompilerClass.Don't worry about it. I will figure it out once I get stack VM running. It just helps to know that it does compile somewhere.
Cordially,
