No; you have to turn it on in the application, for two reasons: 1. Tiger and earlier do not support loading apps/libraries/bundles with GC support, optional or not. 2. If you want to make an app with GC support, then all of its libraries & bundles must also have at least optional support for GC, or they won't load.
