Oh look SUnits, great stuff (*cough* well I wrote most of them).

Well it compiled, but that doesn't mean it works. In fact the error means the
plugin code is never loaded, or is callable.
Now one thing to consider is that the plugin load fails, because it can't find
it. (external usage).
Or because (internal and external plugin) the VM Version and the plugin
version don't match.
Look for your definition of
#define VM_PROXY_MINOR 8
It should be 8 or higher for compiling BOTH the VM and the Plugin.
Since the sqVirtualMachine.h is in the IA32ABI folder maybe there is mass
confusion about which header is being used?
If for example your VM say it's a VM_PROXY_MINOR of 7, then it won't work with
a plugin compiled with VM_PROXY_MINOR = 8.
It silently fails... Well actually it gives the primLoadLibrary failure, but
good luck in guessing why...

yes.

One is a subclass of the other. I use the IA32ABIPluginAttic one.

Well it seems to be related to
((Smalltalk includesKey: #ObjectMemory)
and: [((Smalltalk at: #ObjectMemory) classPool at: #ClassAlien
ifAbsent: []) ~~ (index - 1)]) ifTrue:
[self error: 'index probably wrong'].
Usually people don't have ObjectMemory loaded in their image, and I"m not sure
what it is check for.
Why don't you try it in a regular Pharo image versus your VMMaker image.
