  When a site is defined, Genera calls (si:enable-who-calls :new) automatically
  for you.. But we want to enable who-calls on all functions, not just new
  functions, so we must manually set that up

    (si:enable-who-calls :all)

  This takes a few minutes to run.
My god, it takes minutes to run now? How long did that take to run on the original hardware?

On my Apple M2 Pro it runs in 15 seconds on a large world.

A real Ivory machine would be roughly 70 times slower.

I'm struggling to configure/build the VLM on my M2 Mac running Ubuntu in a VM - any chance you could share your configure.ac or build process?
