I can't find the failed build record easily
(https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnu-smalltalk is the starting
point to find such things)

3.1 hasn't been synced because its still in Debian unstable and hasn't
propogated to testing - 
http://release.debian.org/migration/testing.pl?package=gnu-smalltalk

The Ubuntu package is unmodified from the Debian package, so grabbing
the 3.1-2 source package from debian and testing that on Ubuntu in a PPA
would be a great step to see whether its good to get reintroduced or
not.
