Re: porting of assembler code ...

That's obviously the way to go. However, if you simply want to compile
the VM on
another OS, you don't need to port the assembly code if your linker
can deal
with COFF object files.

Removing dependencies on the assembly code is trivial, but not really
a priority.

Ideally, all changes related to OS porting should be strictly
encapsulated into
the os class of course. Porting to any x86-32 platform shouldn't be
hard, the VM
has very few dependencies on the operating system:
virtual memory, threading, exception handling and dynamic libs

Most of the platform-specific code is in the smalltalk part of the
system, not the VM.
